searching for a tool to migrate my OS installations to another disk (including windows...) I stumbled over the partimage project. (www.partimage.org)
There, you get a source code image for installation, with compilation instructions.
checking for BZ2_bzopen in -lbz2... no
configure: error: *** bzip2 library (libbz2) not found or too old: version 1.0.0 or more recent is need
Issue: requires Libbz2 v1.0 or higher, that I was unable to install with apt-get. apt-get tells me that my version is current. So, end of compilation adventure
Very interesting! I personally do not have any experience with tools like that. Then again, we learned very early how to 'manually' move a installation
Of course its better if theres a good tool for that, now.
Partimage is a semi-gui tool for simple use. Imaging a partition is self-explaining. I am afraid I have to add ntfs support now, and I also have to face to migrate my kubuntu either to investigate how to copy the /etc stuff, or how to use the rescue CD.
Sounds even more interesting! Good that you did not choose the easy way (reinstall), but rather do it the hard way, and thus, give us a lot of information on topics we did not touch yet
intermediate step: I am giving up for the moment for two reasons: Issues mounting various partintions of the external drives.
- issues with ext3 partition (?)
- issues with ntfs partitions (->ntfs-3g issues ->probably fuse version issues ->compiling fuse 2.6.3 doesn't work ->script doesn't laclise kernel headers path and advise I have found was cryptic to me)
