Thanks, I can use a 'tar ball copy' in Debian without problems? Here's what I did in Gentoo, will this work in Debian. Is there another recommended way to tar and move an OS? # rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host* # rm -iv /etc/resolv.conf # tar cvjfp /mnt/usb/stage4.tar.bz2 / -X debian.excl # cat debian.excl /etc/ssh/ssh_host_* /home/* /mnt/* /media/* /lost+found /proc/* /sys/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
