I recently did something like this. I did use the 10th anniversary live |
| 8 |
DVD, but copied to USB stick, to perform it. :-) I like that so far, |
| 9 |
thanks guys. The "cp -a" on the mount points worked well, also. The |
| 10 |
tricky part for me was that the original (source) disk was once a pair |
| 11 |
in a RAID 1 array, with LVM. The other member failed. So you also have |
| 12 |
to start the array on the original in degraded mode and also rename |
| 13 |
the LVM volume group name. |

In the end it Gentoo live DVD is a handy tool. If you keep in on USB |
| 16 |
stick you can also update it and add new files, like Gentoo quick |
| 17 |
install guide. ;-) |
