I want to put linux on a new computer, without having to rebuild 
all my applications. Following are the steps I plan to take:

        Install a base system with the same network installer
        that I used for the source machine and without getting
        anything from the network.

        Copy to the new machine from old with:
                
                su
                mount /dev/sda3 /sD
                cp -dRvpu  / /sD  

        The drive on the new machine is bigger and of a
        different brand. For the copy, the new drive is
        attached to the old machine as a usb drive.

am i missing anything?

thanks,
