Hi All ,

I've been wondering how one can clone an entire gentoo system and copy it to
another physical machine , while the original system is still running (
means , ghost , acronis and other tools that force me to shutdown the system
are not acceptable )

So , someone told me to try just "tar" the whole system to the other machine
and "untar" it there.

The question is how can I do that ? what are the correct attributes and
flags ?

Or maybe someone have other ideas ?

Thanks

Benyamin
