How to move disk.root content in a full Ubuntu installation?
Asked by
Michael Sioutis
I've been using wubi for a while, but I thought I'd go for a full istall of UBuntu, since I have experienced some grub related crashes.
I have backed up my root.disk, I can mount it and see all the files in it. How can I restore the entire root.disk content in a Ubuntu installation?
I want to do this in order to move my applications, software, settings etc from my wubi installation to my complete Ubuntu installation.
I tried by booting with a LiveCD and doing cp commands between the mounted root.disk and the filesystem, but that created chaos, since all permisions got messed up (well I was doing sudo cp).
Is there an other easier way? There has to be, but I don't know what to look for and I'd appreciate some pointers.
Thanx in advance!
Mike
