I just built a Linux box (FC4) out of an old PC, and installed mythTV on it. I have run out of hard drive space (750 MB left on a 4GB drive) and my original plan to use a USB (40GB) drive for recordings isn't working. I really don't want to have to reinstall everything all over again.
If I get a large IDE drive, is there a way to transfer the contents of the current small drive to it, and just toss the old one? Or, is it better/feasable to install the new drive as a second drive, and if so, how do I tell Linux (and mythTV) how to use it properly? In Windows, I would just make it drive D: and tell the application to start using that drive - but I have no idea how to go about the same thing in Linux.
TIA
