[dundee] Automatix & Ubunt

[Lee Hughes]

well, bugger me...

but question is can you use LVM for root volumes /

would be an interesting howto for ubuntu, 

I just though of another way.

connect use storage device (GB)

boot a knoppix type distro

dd if=/dev/hda of=/mnt/usbkey/mybackup

reboot into ubuntu

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

reboot..

does it work? yeah!! keep it..

total failure

boot knoppix

dd if=/mnt/usbkey/mybackup of=/dev/hda

comments!
