This is from the Tips-HOWTO, there is one other method in that doc but never used it. With the method shown above you might get some complains about not being able to copy some /dev devices (or was it just some named pipes). I always ignore those errors, and everything works just fine. Of course... Once you transfer, remember about: rdev, /etc/fstab, etc..
