Boot your laptop using a Linux LiveCD. Mount your hard drive (e.g. |
| 10 |
mount /dev/hda /mnt/hda. Start sshd. Go to your desktop and run something |
| 11 |
like: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
cat archive_file.bz2 | ssh -c blowfish user@laptop_ip_address "cd /mnt/hda ; |
| 14 |
tar -xjpvf archive_file.bz2" |

with it. |
