Well, if you copy the whole filesystem tree (from root, but possibly ommitting /proc /tmp and /mnt or /media), then everything should work fine (just remember to create these points, in case you ommit them from your copy process). > Will dpkg be able to understand all the packages installed ? There will be no need to "rebuild the dpkg database" and everything will work fine.
