Partition the new drive, then mount each filesystem and "cp -a" or use
ghost.  Either will work.

NOTE:  Regardless of how you do it, you will need to install either grub
or lilo on the new drive for it to boot.  If you use lilo:

	# chroot /newdrive/boot
	# lilo
	# exit

If you use grub:

	# grub-install /dev/whatever-the-new-drive-is
