1 Howdy,

3 Well, it appears we got the init thingy working. I'm about ready to
4 move things around since one of my drives is about full and I need a
5 spare to move things around with. I use cp -a to copy things while
6 booted from a USB stick do hicky. So far, that has always worked and is
7 pretty fast. I do have a question tho.

9 When I copy this over, do I still need to copy over null, console and
10 such to /dev? I know I don't need everything in /dev but do recall
11 needing those in the past. Has this changed since I'm using the init
12 thingy? Am I forgetting one? I thought there was three.
13
14 Anything else that could be a gotcha? I plan to move this twice. Once
15 to the spare drive, repartition the OS drive then copy things back over
16 again. It's been a while and with LVM about to be used, I hope it is
17 the last time.

19 Thanks.
