Re: [cobalt-users] Is there a way to copy and move the entire con tents of the Hard drive

[Frank Johnson <frank@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok. I am assuming that the 600mb plus file that did get tar.gz is a
legitimate file and I am near completion with the wget.

However, the webpage that you recommended doesn't appear to apply to me. 
 Too many differences.

Basically, I think I would need to be in the "cd /" directory as root
when I gunzip this file.  I am just uncertain as to what switches I
might need to add.

I am going from a raq2 to a raq2.
