Is there a way that I can use my Linux ext4 file system, as such and then use it on some other computer.
I have a dual-boot of Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 and my partition table looks like this:
My question might not be clear, so explaining it with an example.
Can I copy my Linux partition on a flash drive and then use it on a different PC, with or without any need to install Ubuntu on new PC, by simply booting from the copied ext4 partition.
This way, I can easily port my Ubuntu packages and other applications, settings etc. from one PC to other.
If it's a very stupid question, please don't mind.
