to be *terse*:
read;
man rsync { note -a -u -v options
man mkinitrd
man fstab
man grub.conf { if there was one :)
man chroot
with /dev/sda5 mounted, 'rsync' / to /mnt/sda6 [or how ever you have it
mounted].
if you have '/home' on a separate partition, note in 'man rsync' how to
eliminate '/home'. same applies to '/boot'.
after copy, make changes to '/boot/grub/grub.conf' and '/etc/fstab' to
reflect new locations.
'cd' to mounted directory for new '/', run 'chroot', cd to '/boot' and
run 'mkinitrd'.
reboot.
it has been a while that i last ran such, but i do believe that is it.
