Hi Mathan, You could tar the entire system - I use that method when I build a new system in VMware before deploying it on my "real" pc.
Only you need a separate disk, network volume or USB-Disk to save the tar file on. First you need to boot the PC where your new LFS-system is from a LFS-LiveCD (Or similar). Mount the new LFS-system on eg. /mnt/source If you have additional partitions you can either mount them into /mnt/source/<additional mounts> - or create a tar file for every mount-point. Mount the disk, network share or USB-Disk on eg. /mnt/target type: cd /mnt/source type: tar cvf /mnt/target/lfs.tar . (Rebember the .) Now it will make a complete copy of your system to the file lfs.tar - when done, unmount /mnt/source and /mnt/target and reboot. --- When restoring the system, boot the target PC using the LFS-LiveCD. Create a partition on the target PC, and mount it at /mnt/target Mount the disk, network share or USB-Disk containing the lfs.tar file at /mnt/source Type: cd /mnt/target Type: tar xpvf /mnt/source/lfs.tar Now the contence of lfs.tar will be extracted to the target PC. When done, modify /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst to reflect the new system. Run Grub, and install the bootloader. Unmount /mnt/target and /mnt/source and reboot the system. Now the target PC should boot on the LFS-System. mathan kumar wrote: > Hello there > > I've build my LFS system and i want distribute to my friends. Someone > help me how can i do that.
