a.k.a. I like my Linux how I like my women... easy to set upflexible.

This is a script to backup and/or transfer a working Funtoo installation onto a fresh install (on the same or a different host).

It won't speed up an install and it doesn't make it easier, but with it you can do a single reboot and have a complete working system without tedious config file editing.

Usage

Fill in the 6 variables at the top of the script. You'll constantly be adding more files as the original system gets more customised.

When you're ready (or as a cron job), run the script and save the resulting tarball somewhere.

Boot your install environment. Partition, format and unpack (or work up to) a stage3. Grab a portage tree.

Unpack the main tarball (you probably don't want to unpack the other tarballs yet):

Template:Root

Take a peek at the list of files in $HOST_FILES and edit them to the host's specification.

Template:Info

Template:Info

Chroot in and run (I suggest in a screen, nohup or another VT): Template:Root

Wait (or finish configuration). Remember to make a kernel and # boot-update (and installing the bootloader to MBR if necessary).

Add an identical user (it's not in the script, but you might want to save the output of $ groups) and unpack home-overlay.tar. If you have anything in usrlocal-overlay.tar you can unpack that too.

Template:Info

If all goes well, reboot (and remove the install environment)!
