I thought > something along the lines of the following: If the second disk is truly a cloned disk there is a simpler way. Assuming the cloned disk is mounted (for example) at /mnt/disk you could do a chroot /mnt/disk. You can do your tweaks either before or after this if making the tweaks doesn't depend on having the original disk around. Your lilo commands and such will operate on the new root. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
