Have a look at this hint: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/lfsbackup.txt It does not exactly what you want but it might be a starting point. Apart from that: I usually do the following after "major upgrades": - boot the final system via LFS Live-CD - mount all filesystems unter /mnt (except proc, sys, dev/pts) - tar up /mnt using "tar cfpjv /some/other/path/lfs.tar.bz2 /mnt/*" - burn the tarball onto DVD. This makes shure that everything gets copied and that all the file and directory permissions are set up right. cheers, Alex -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
