Hi, I'm looking into a couple of options on backing up my laptop. What I want to do is replace a 1.4G drive with a 5G drive.
It runs debian/unstable, has no cdrom drive, and was installed through PCMCIA ethernet(xircom cardbus 16-bit). /root is reiserfs, but that's not really important, I might switch to ext3 if problems arise. g4u doesn't support pcmcia. partimage gives me some problems. (it won't let me log in although it connects. the -L option serverside doesn't seem to help either. the partimaged deamon runs on a gentoo system tho, and it is possible it was compiled with different(incompatible?) options then the debian package) I might spend more time on getting partimage to work but first I would like to know: Can it be done simpler with tar or rsync? tar everything over the network, connect the 5G drive, partition. untar and reinstall bootloader? Are there any other options/has anyone done this sort of thing before? big thanks in advance --- nessie -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
