copy command

<code>
cd /media/OLD
find ./ -xdev -print0 | cpio -pa0V /media/NEW 
</code>

A GRUB install can also be done with the --recheck option to suppress the "no corresponding BIOS image" error:

<code>grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/point/of/root --recheck /dev/sd[whatever]</code>

This left /boot/grub/device.map a bit wonky, but worked anyway--I changed it appropriately on bot02 even so.

What to change?

  * /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to match ethernet mac address

change hostname in:

  * /etc/hostname
  * /etc/hosts
  * /etc/mailname
  * /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
