Assuming root (/) is a single partition, and /mnt another, you can do:
tar clf - / | ( cd /mnt ; tar xpvf - )

This has been acknowledged by others as a bug (but I'm not sure if it's
been officially reported).

I have been having problems getting auctex to work. I tried reinstalling
it and got the following message:

The following files mention tex-site.el, even though they shouldnt:
/etc/emacs/site-start.el
please remove the load or require command from these files.

Hey
I just installed Debian 1.3 ([stable contrib non-free]). And to me, it looks
like the adduser scripts isn't working properly.. in fact.. it doesn't act
like 'group homes', though this is specified in adduser.conf.
Anyone familiar with this problem/bug?

Well, Shift+Pageup are the right buttons, and they work fine for me
on the Virtual Consoles. But note that they don't work after

I'm a happy Debian User and I live with unstable. I like Debian, because I
can do everything very easy (killer apps for mail, web and so on).
But I cannot find a good way to build web pages. How do you build web sites
with Debian? Via SGML (with Emacs) or with simple vi? I need something
