I'll try as you suggested, the mother board is different, it is a new |
| 33 |
computer similar CPU AMD-8core. I've tried duplicating it with Gparted, |
| 34 |
didn't work. |
| 35 |
The disk are different as well. |
| 36 |
Old one is old WD spinning disk (about 10-years old) |
| 37 |
New one is M.2 SSD |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Old system is: emerge --info |
| 40 |
Portage 2.3.24 (python 3.5.4-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop, |
| 41 |
gcc-6.4.0, glibc-2.25-r10, 4.9.72-gentoo x86_64) |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
New one: emerge --info |
| 44 |
Portage 3.0.9 (python 3.7.9-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop, |
| 45 |
gcc-9.3.0, glibc-2.32-r2, 5.4.72-gentoo-x86_64 x86_64) |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
So I'm not sure if duplicating the drive would work, maybe I'm going the |
| 48 |
wrong way about it. It would be nice if gentoo have an easier way of |
| 49 |
doing it, it would stand out from other distros. I've tried Debian |
| 50 |
(stable) it didn't work, and I know I have more flexibility with Gentoo. |
