I would say "be very careful". It will work if the following are true:
1. All the drivers loaded on computer A are the same as required for
computer B - do they have the same CPU/motherboard chipset/graphics card
2. Your partitions are the same and match up in FSTAB - be particularly
careful if your FSTAB uses UUID notation.
3. You will need to reinstall grub into the MBR anyway.
I would be pleased to hear others peoples comments because this would
make my backup procedure easier - but unless the computers are the
same/very similar I am not confident its a sensible approach.

Hello all..
I want to know is there Debian linux can install by copy the entire
files in the hard disk to another hard disk ??
Because i already install linux in my computer and now i want to
install linux in another computer but not install it from the cd, it
would be good if Debian GNU/linux can install in another computer
just by copy all of the files..
and is there setting i have to do ??
Thanx..
I've done this recently. Boot into original computer with a live CD
and copy all the files to an external disk. Then boot with live CD
into new computer and copy the files from external disk.

Mitja
