Will this transfer Ruby Bundles (Bundler) and RVMs as well? Or should I back those up separately?

Hi Philippe!

Thanks A LOT for this!! I followed the steps you kindly shared with us but for the 3rd step I did (to the target machine):
sudo apt-get install dselect
dpkg –set-selections < ~/pkglist
dselect update
apt-get dselect-upgrade show

I am using Kubuntu (when I do lsb_release -d I get: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS though).

Have anyone tried this on version 11.10? I’m planning to migrate my ubuntu to my other PC right after I fix it. Thanks for this anyway, nice stuff you got there

I would rather leave /etc alone unless you edited files yourself. I guess you should use “sudo cp -r” :)

Hi,
It seems very helpful article, but in Step 2 how I can transfer directories like /etc and /opt to the new machine? cause cp -r doesn’t work fine for me. Moreover, are the /etc and /opt directories enough for this kind of migration? Or should I transfer all under /?
Thanks
