I do this every time. It is easy and does not require any special software. Just use sudo cp -av while booted off a live cd so that the special directories under /dev and other places are copied correctly. I never had a problem this way.<br>

After the copy I'm tempted to then run update-grub, is this too easy? I could edit /etc/default/grub to change boot order as required. I want this setup in place for more than just 0.28 to 0.29 Also for all future system and myth upgrades.</div><div dir="auto">Its occurring to me that I will have to edit /etc/fstab to auto mount the new partition.
