rsync -a remote:/ / Should do it, I think. The devil, of course, is in the detail. If the new box doesn't have anything on it, how are you going to run rsync on it? Are you going to overwrite libraries currently in use? A better way to clone would be to do hard drive exchanges (HDD out of new machine and into existing box as slave, then do a mass copy) and then fix up LILO with a boot disk once the HDD is back in it's original home. - Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
