ok, so what I ultimately did was boot into Knoppix, grab a program called "meld", \
make it, and then "meld" the equivalent partitions (after mounting them under \
/media). This gave me a long diff'd list of changes on the two filesystems and then \
I manually picked and chose which files to move over to my "main" hard drive. I \
really wanted to use kdiff3 but it became a huge PITA trying to get it compiled under \
Knoppix. I then made sure to reset my UUID's on the secondary drive (tune2fs -U \
random /dev/sdb[#]) so when I rebooted I was back on only one drive for all of my \
mount points. Then, just for the sake of doing it, I did an "rpm --rebuilddb" and a \
"yum update". I only now have one problem with nouveau but I'm hoping the update \
fixed that.

Yea, and I'll end up doing that, but the problem is that
I've done some yum installs and yum updates and, of
course, reading mail,<br>
browsing the internet, etc., and there are now new files
here and there on cross partitions that need to be good
to go on, at least,<br>
one of the two disks. Then I can do the UUID changes
and make sure that I boot from the disk where all of the
partitions are<br>
current. I'm thinking I *may* be able to rsync
partitions, copying "newer" files back and forth
(probably after booting into<br>
Knoppix). That should do it. I'll have to think about
it some more and decide on how to do this.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
