After fixing two bugs, I just used this to install LMDE 201404 into VirtualBox — Works like a charm! |

Bumped and available for merging. The merits of rsync should be obvious. |
|
Yes, this should hopefully speed things up. I want to take time and properly test this as it can lead to regressions. post-betsy release. |
|
Would you test this now if I rebased it? |
|
hi @kernc, No need to rebase, I'll take care of it. But I'm not ready just yet.. we're planning LMDE 3 for 2018, this will be merged in the coming months. |

This seems like a nicer way to do it. rsync is told to copy everything except pipes, sockets (used for IPC; everything needed will be constructed on next boot anyway), and devices (save for hackers playing around, those are confined to /dev anyway). Some directories are justifiably omitted, everything is transfered as-is, more reliably and in half the time.
This is yet untested as I'm waiting for my live jessie to come out of the "kitchen" (live-systems custom build service). It's been almost two days now.
