I am going to replace my 20GB harddrive which houses linux with a 60GB as /dev/hda, what configuration changes would I need in RH90 if I am going to transfer a complete image of my old drive to the new one?

The first one I can think of is /etc/fstab, are there anything else?

thanks lotz

Are you planning to temporarily connect the 60gb as a slave device, copy the contents of the 20gb to the 60gb and then replace the 20 with the 60 as the master? If so, then you don't need to change anything as long as the partitions (hda1, hda2 etc.) stay the same.
