when i made image of my fedora9 disk it had 18 GB. my new drive has 60GB. How can i expand the installed image to fit the entire new disk?.
We need more details. Your disk probably has multiple partitions, how are they laid out, and which do you need to resize? Contents of /etc/fstab and the output of fdisk -l run as root may be helpful.
how did you image it?
If you used something like dd, you can then copy the image created and mount it as a loopback filesystem. I would lay out the partitions/mounts/filesystems as you like, and then mount the image file, and copy things as needed with the appropriate arguments/switches to keep permissions intact. You could rsync if you wished.
