I have considered this.  Guess I'm just not certain it will wind up
being much/any easier than just reinstalling.  The second partition is
a bit larger than the first so it seems that using dd to copy the first
to the second would work.  I'm just afraid that I would then have other
configuration issues to deal with due to the partition size differences.
