# mount --bind /sys /media/sda1/sys
UUID=fe43c...c5ac2f /data ext3 noatime,nodiratime,defaults 0 2 # chroot /media/sda1
b) Convert ~/Documents, etal to sym-links to /data/Documents, etcetera. # update-grub
c) Sync Chromium-browser. +Smooth Gestures, SmartVideo, G-Translate, Dropbox # umount /media/sda1/sys && umount /media/sda1/dev
