[Leaplist] copy a hard drive to another different sized partition.

[Derek Konigsberg]

I've personally had a lot of luck doing this myself using various versions 
of "dump" and "restore" (very common on normal UNIX, mostly used myself on 
Solaris and a little on FreeBSD), but not sure how available/good those 
are on Linux.
