Re: [Xen-users] how to migrate guest OS to other servers without xen installed

[Mark Williamson <mark.williamson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You might also need to adjust /etc/fstab on the filesystem, if the disk layout 
is different to what the install was expecting.

I'd recommend downloading a copy of Knoppix (or some other Linux Live / Rescue 
CD) so that you can boot with it to mount the filesystem on the new host and 
tweak things after you've copied across.

Cheers,
Mark
