What happened was that I spent a lot of time configuring
computer "A", and rsync'd the root filesystem onto disk
at computer "B". I then rsync'd from hard disk to computer
"C" and everything was fine except that the hardware is
clearly different.
I am not sure that copying the root partition from one machine to another
is a good way to install Linux.
Was there some special reason not to use one of the normal install methods
from the DVD or Live CD?
