hello,
I configured Debian system on one computer and would like to copy file system to another computer (identical hardware). What command or program should I use for this? 1.Then I have ethernet connection. This was discussed before, I will repeat: tar cf - / | ssh -C client 'cd /mnt; tar -xf -' assumed there is an os running on the client. 2.Then I don't have it. If the hd's are identical, you can put them together in one compu, and do: # dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb where sda is your source and sdb is your destination. This will copy the entire harddisk, but you can also copy partition-wise, like: # dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb2 will copy partition 1 of sda to sdb, beginning at partition 2. If the hd's are not idential, you can format you destination hd and to something similar as in 1. I suggest method 2.1, that copies your hd at lowlevel. Greetz, Sebastiaan Thank you in advance. ktt
