What would the procedure be for moving the data off my (single) Maxtor onto a RAID1 of 2 WD800JBs?

I wonder if I should just use the fedora installation disk to create a RAID1 from the two WD disks and install it on there, then somehow copy over the data from the Maxtor (perhaps while booted from a Live Linux CD)?

Create the raid1 and mkfs. Then cp -aux / /raid
then boot single user and do it again to get the few files that have changed
(logs etc)

then adjust your boot program to boot from the raid


OK, sounds straight forward, but what about the /boot and swap partitions?

Max.
