Thanks Mr. Roth! That's nice and methodical. I do like how you can revert by simply remounting the previous directories. I'm going to try both. I'm still hopeful that a simple tar -xf server.tgz into the chrooted "/" is possible. At linuxquestions.org, one user suggests it can be done by exempting the following: /proc /sys /dev /tmp /var I'm thinking the tarball thing

Anaconda on Fedora live media installs uses: rsync -pogAXtlHrDx There is at least one equivalent that's shorter, probably with -a representing about half of those. Chris Murphy

Do you mean boot both the current and the new server with LiveCD's and then --- rsync -aAXHx -e 'ssh' /chroot-mounted/root/directory root at 1...

Anaconda live installs use this: rsync -pogAXtlHrDx --exclude /dev/ --exclude /proc/ --exclude /sys/ --exclude /run/ --exclude /boot/*rescue* --exclude /etc/machine-id /run/install/source/ /mnt/sysimage Chris Murphy
