Tar up the whole BLFS system
by SINISTER750 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BDR0)
I have successfully installed BLFS 8.4 and now I want to transfer it to another machine. Would it work if I tar up the whole BLFS system and then untar it on an empty partition on another machine? If this is true then what all things should I tar up. I want the whole BLFS along will all the packages in `/sources` directory.
I think I would also need 'Super Grub 2' as it scans through all the partitions and search for all the operating systems.
Please note that I don't have the host operating system. I started making LFS on Ubuntu using terminal but to give more space to the LFS, I deleted it using a disk partition tool. It means that now I have only one OS in my laptop i.e. BLFS 8.4 . I didn't use Virtual Box or any other similar software due to hardware limitations.
