Re-install of Arch on a larger drive

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi all-

I currently have Arch running on a 250GB drive, and I'm going to be
moving to a 500GB drive.

I'm looking for 'best practices' when it comes to the migrating as much
as possible during the re-install.

It appears that I can migrate my installed packages (standard and AUR
repos) via:

pacman -Qqe > pkglist.txt

and then on the new install, I can use the pkglist.txt generated
previously to:

pacman -S - < pkglist.txt

In addition, by backing up and migrating much of my /home partition (to
include 'hidden' config files, anything else I could do to make the
process fast and as close to the current install as possible?

Thanks!
