you can boot the other laptop with a live cd which has sshd and rsync Then partition the disk, create the filesystems (and the swap partition, if any), mount them in the correct place. Say, the / partition is mounted in /mnt the the home partition in /mnt/home and so on. Then configure sshd to accept connections as root from your laptop. > Is there a > better way, and how do I make sure that the permissions and owners don't > change > and that /proc, /sys, /dev etc. are not copied? As root on your laptop: rsync -e ssh -vaczISH --stats --numeric-ids -x / [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/ rsync -e ssh -vaczISH --stats --numeric-ids -x /home/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/home/ and so on -- Chi usa software non libero avvelena anche te.
