I have moved systems by running something like this:
# As root, and with the new system destination mounted on /new_system.
cd /
ls > list
# edit list to not contain "list", "proc", and "new_system"
mkdir /new_system/proc
tar cbf 256 - `cat list` | (cd /new_system; tar xvlpbf 256 -)
cd /new_system
/var/lib/dpkg/info/lilo.postinst
Of course, you _must_ be root. That "p" flag to tar is critical.
Back up your system first, just in case you mess something up.
