When I tried it, I used cp with the --preserve=all option. However, I didn't copy dynamically generated locations (like /dev/ or /proc/). I just made empty directories on the destination, for the system to populate when it booted. The only problem I recall was forgetting to set the sticky bit on the new /tmp/ directory. I don't recall having problems copying "symlinks", either. They seemed to be copied over as new links. -- (Currently running FC4, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
