Isn't using tar the easiest way? boot from finnix iso, create software raid,lvm or whatever you need, then tar one system with --numeric-owner parameter and pipe it through ssh to the destination system. mount --bind /dev to the new system, chroot into it, install grub and restart. mk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
