Do I need to install any hardware detection software in step (2) so
that it can detect all the new hardware in another PC when I bootup
via CD?
Basically, it is to 'remaster' a minimal debian system into a
'Knoppix-like' CD.
Thanks !

create backup to /opt/BACKUP
tar zcvf /opt/BACKUP/var.tgz /var

problem with cd method is it might not fit onto
one cdrom
if you want a bootable cdrom .. make sure you have
a bootable cdrom image ( or just use one off the shelf )
especially since you want to copy all of your stuff onto
another hard disk vs a bootable/standalone cdrom
i'm assuming that all the stuff you want will not
fit onto one cdrom

get that new disk to be running on standalone
or just mount it into the master box
install all them files
run grub or lilo
done .. reboot and magic... dont forget
to change oyur host name and ip#
