Please don't top-post when replying on this list. You need to be in a separate system on the machine (e.g. the host system which you used to build LFS) so that the LFS system is not mounted. (Trying to tar up /dev /proc /sys is not a good idea). If everything from LFS is in one partition, mount the LFS system at /mnt/lfs on the host, then as root cd to /mnt/lfs and tar up '.' to a file (if you use -v with tar it will show it writing names beginning './'). Transfer the file to an existing linux system on the other machine, make a filesystem on the partition where you want LFS, and then as root mount that filesystem (creating /mnt/lfs and mounting there is conventional), cd to it and untar. > > Other minor things are to change the host name, ip address, fstab, > > grub.cfg, and maybe unprivileged user(s).
