Hello all:
I wanted to get some ideas from the list on how to clone a Gentoo box.
Perhaps others on the list are interested as well.
for (nearly) identical hardware i use the following commands (from a live
distro like knoppix)
// create compressed and splitted image
dd if=/dev/sd? | gzip -c | split -b 699m - /space/for/imagefiles/image.gz.
< don't forget that last dot
// verify
cat /space/for/imagefiles/imag

In case anyone's wondering:

There, look at the link for the GNU/Linux backup script. That's what I
use here at work, and I'm able to clone a p4 machine with full KDE in
about 1 hour.
Pay *very* close attention to the '--excludes' in the script, as

For plain device cloning you can read:

Using gzip definately saves a lot of space if your partitions aren't
completely full.

What about quickpkg'ing all the installed packages and emerging them
as binaries on the new system? I think if you copy your /etc to the
new box first it should work just fine. I wonder if anyone has tried
this.
Anyways, this really depends on how much you want to clone the system,
and how simila

such). After booting the other bo
