I would recommend creating a new file system on the destination drive. The do a rsync -axH src dst Then install grub on the master boot sector on the destination drive as specified in the gentoo installation manual. I have had problems with dd ghosting in the past but rsync has worked flawlessly so far. Jimmy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
