I mount them on my old system /mnt/newsystem. cd into eg /mnt/newsystem/usr/ dump -0 /usr |restore -r and so on for every filesystem. And remember to change fstab before booting into the new system. OR do I create a new system from scratch with minimal setup and then boot into it. Mount the old system (/mnt/oldsystem ). cd into /usr/ dump -0 /mnt/oldsystem/usr/ |restore -r ??
