Thanks to those who've made suggestions. I could use tar, but still
haven't been able to find a live-CD that I could use on my new machine
in order to do the copy to that machine -- there are a few, but
Intel-only. Maybe Gentoo. But I think I'll just try installing squeeze
and then upgrade.
Copying whole directory trees on a running system is not easy. I would
use tar instead of cp.
On source machine (note option -l, a.k.a. --one-file-system, to avoid
recursion):
tar -clf - / | tar -xf - -C /mnt/portable
and on target machine:
tar -cf - -C /mnt/portable * | tar -xf - -C /mnt/t
Did you un/plugging the USB devices? I haven't used the installers in
a while but I usually avoid testing and unstable ISOs because of past
problems. If you use the stable installer and choose the advanced
options., it'll actually ask if you want to install stable, testing,
or unstable.

have on the 17". So I downloaded the current netinst snapshot, and the
first stage of the installation went without a hitch, including
