Got the Ubuntu-Intrepid thing working after 3 tries nicely on 2 gig SD card

Is there an easy way to copy/migrate the 2 gig info to a larger card?  I'd like to move ti to a 4 or 8?

Thanks Anyone, Everyone and the Teacup!

Yes.
Back it up.
Follow Teapots instructions (http://www.olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=4053.msg27397#msg27397) for the new card up to the "mke2fs -jLOLPCRoot /dev/mmcblk0p1" point (included) and then restore in the new card from the backup
For backup and restore look here http://www.olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=3062.msg24431#msg24431
Normally you'll need a USB stick half the size of your installation but if you have video and pictures or you haven't clean up the downloaded packages this could be bigger.

If you want to transfer the installation in another XO make sure that is updated to os767 (Update 8.2)  has firmware q2e18 or newer and a developers key, and then copy the security folder from that XO as described in the original Intrepid post (cp /security/* security/)
