I want to replace a 1 gb disk with a new 2.5 gb disk on my system.
I would like to move my DOS/Win95 partition to another disk (larger)
on my system.  Can I just tar up the /dosd partition and then do a
restore on the new disk.  Will the long names, etc. be O.K.?  Is
there anything else I need to do?

TIA
