cloning SuSE on another partition
I have 9.0 installed, with a couple of empty partitions preformatted the same (reiserfs). Can I clone the bootable 9.0 by simply copying it to an empty partition? Do I then modify the Grub list manually? Or should it be done by YAST et al.

one can mkreiserfs for the empty partition . . . then, mount that partition, say on /mnt ~ & use TAR to clone the whole system like this :- tar clf - . | ( umask 0; cd /mnt; tar xvf - ) { it will take about 10 minutes } finally, adjust the root / in /mnt/etc/fstab so that the correct partition is shown for < / > ~ guess you can adjust grub by hand. best wishes ____________ sent on Linux ____________
