You can use the following commands to clone an installation: dpkg --get-selections > mypackages.txt #Do this on the old system dpkg --set-selections < mypackages.txt #Do this on the new system apt-get dselect-upgrade#Process the new package list If the install is interrupted for any reason, you have to redo both of the last two steps. This should leave your new system with the same packages as the existing one. As has been mentioned, there will still be configuration data missing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: AVM Fritz!Card PCI (v2.0) / Fritz!DSL
Hi All, I tried to install the original AVM 32-bit-driver. I changed all int variables that content pointers to long, so I have no warnings about that. But there is a library without source code. and it is: file fcpci-lib.o fcpci-lib.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped than I used "objcopy": objcopy -v -O elf64-x86-64 fcpci-lib.o lib/fcpci-lib.o copy from fcpci-lib.o(elf32-i386) to lib/fcpci-lib.o(elf64-x86-64) file lib/fcpci-lib.o lib/fcpci-lib.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped I thought that it was done, but if I tried to compile the driver I got the following message: LD [M] /home/pavel/fritz/src/fcpci.o ld: /home/pavel/fritz/src/fcpci.o: relocation size mismatch in /var/lib/fritz/fcpci-lib.o section .text ld: final link failed: Archive object file in wrong format Because I don't have any experience with the structure of obj-files could anybody give me a hint what do I do wrong?

Had to install old realtek 8139 card which, of course, worked. Everything apart from what I've written above was smooth, and now the system (with KDE and OOfice over chroot) is very stable and fast. I have not attempted to configure audio yet, though. -- Adam Podstawczyński www.podstawczynski.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
