current# mkdir /mnt/clone
current# mount target:/mnt/hdb3 /mnt/clone
# let's assume /dev/hdb3 is mounted as /home
if /dev/hdb3 is mounted "/", than copy only the important stuff
- use /bin /boot /dev /etc /home /lib /opt /root /sbin /usr /var
instead of "*" in the tar command
current# cd /home
current# tar cf - * | ( cd /mnt/clone ; tar xvfp - )
-------
boot target machine ... fix grub ...to boot /dev/hdb3 in addition to
whatever it's booting now
- after, preferably before booting /dev/hdb3, you'd need to add a
couple of empty dirs
mkdir /tmp /proc
chmod 1777 /tmp
