That solution will work as it is but you'll need to check your ext2 &
swap partitions afterwards as gohst can on occasion do some wierd shit
to unused partition space.
so don't go scrubbing the old disk before you're sure that the new one +
modifications works double check with linux's fdisk to make sure that
partitions are ok after haveing changed everything.
