Quoting Daniel Lundberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Is it possilbe to do an image of my UML installation and extract it on a physical harddrive, and getting it to boot?
Depending on your Linux flavor (Fedora, Debian, etc.), it may help to pre-install some packages that a UML instance doesn't need. For example, you may need to install the software for grub (or lilo), the kernel (with kernel modules), etc.
Also, I've used tar for backing up (and restoring) instances. It works quite well. Just remember use your boot-loader (grub, lilo, etc) to reinstall the boot block when you move it to its own hardware.
Also, it wouldn't hurt to have a rescue disk pre-built so you have a known, working means for booting the instance.
