I have built an LFS system that I now wish to migrate to my main box. To do this, I plugged in a USB drive, mounted it to /root/tmp , and ran the command: dd if=/dev/sda1 bs=64K | gzip -c > tmp/drive.gz On my main box, I will fire up a live cd, plug in my USB drive and restore with this command gunzip -c tmp/drive.gz | dd of=/dev/sda2 bs=64K The reason it won't be sda1 is because windows is on there. After doing that, I will chroot into the newly restored system and run grub-install /dev/sda And of course, I'll update /etc/fstab /etc/hosts /etc/hostname and so on to conform to the new system. My question is on the grub.cfg syntax so that I can boot windows. I guessed it will probably look something like this: menuentry "Windows 7" { insmod chain insmod ntfs set root=(hd0,msdos1) chainloader +1 } Will that work, or will I need something more complex? -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
