Jan 01 13:44:41 <Lunar_Lamp> I'm running debian on my slug.  If I wanted to replace the hard drive (and I do) that I have it installed on, can I just copy the contents of the hard drive to another, and plug that in?
Jan 01 14:15:12 <BusError> Lunar_Lamp, yes. something like rsync -a --exclude /proc , /sys, /dev and such.. or mount the filesystem on another box, copy it from there...
Jan 01 14:25:34 <Lunar_Lamp> Fantastic :-)
Jan 01 14:26:09 <Lunar_Lamp> This means I can replace the noisy, plug-requiring,  USB hard drive with a flash drive :-)
Jan 01 14:26:37 <BusError> I run mines on 2gb mini-sd cards
Jan 01 14:27:25 <BusError> with these very small usb to micro-sd adapters.
Jan 01 14:28:26 <Lunar_Lamp> Ah yes, that could be pretty nifty :-)
Jan 01 14:29:26 <BusError> search 'micro-sd usb' on ebay, you'll see what I mean
Jan 01 14:30:09 <BusError> the spped of micro-sds is considerably faster than most cheaper dedicated memory sticks somehow
Jan 01 14:30:14 <BusError> speed
Jan 01 14:33:17 <Lunar_Lamp> Really? I might have to go that route then.
Jan 01 14:34:31 <BusError> the one I use here, not branded, does >15M/s read. Nowhere near a hard disk, but largely usable
