Just use "cp -a" from outside the system (a live-cd for example). There
is no need for copying the MBR too. You have to modify /etc/fstab and
lilo.conf anyway, so you can chroot afterwards into you new system and
run /sbin/lilo. If chroot doesn't work for you, boot the system with the
install cd (follow the instructions at the boot prompt) to run lilo. |
