With the rsync command you should use an exclude-file (see --exclude option) containing a list of directories and files not to be transferred like
./lost+found** ./run** ./dev/** ./sys/** ./tmp/** etc (see rsync manual). After transferring the files you may have to adapt files like /etc/fstab and the configuration file for your boot-loader. Depending on your boot-loader you have to install a new mbr (using grub-install or lilo with options like "--boot-directory=DIR /dev/hdb", e.g., for grub). -- Best regards, Jörg-Volker. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
