Yes, I used that procedure in the past but it requires more human effort |
| 19 |
so I'd prefer the chroot approach; also I found that sometimes the list |
| 20 |
of files downloaded by system B was not complete and I had to further |
| 21 |
iterate the procedure. At the time I assumed it was due to the two |
| 22 |
systems being based on different architectures (~amd64 and ~x86), but |
| 23 |
did not really spend much time investigating. |
