I'm about to install gentoo on a temporary partition on my P4 box. The
installation, when done, will be transfered to my pentium 3 and I'll do the
final bootloader/misc setup stuff that can only be done on the real box.
How do people recommend I transfer the completed gentoo installation to the
new computer? I can't just copy the raw partitions because (a) they're not
the right size, and (b) they're on an LVM volume.
So I need some way of copying over the network that will preserve all the
required permissions and stuff... would rsync be the way to go? Or maybe
tarring up the whole thing once it's done?
What kind of options would I have to provide to ensure that all the
permissions/ownerships are set correctly?
Can anyone see any other potential tripfalls I haven't thought of?
Thanks,
Tom
