I have a computer with Linux (A) and another computer with a formatted hard disk(B). If I connect two computers with LAN cable, how can I write the disk-image of computer A to computer B using the dd command?

  • @frostschutz Thanks. The other computer is formatted and has no operating system. Is it possible to connect with LAN cable in this case? – user215422 Jul 28 '20 at 14:54

    you'll have to boot a livecd/rescue system. it would also be possible to boot that over the network (like tftp / pxe boot) but not much point to set that up for a once off install ... – frostschutz Jul 28 '20 at 15:05
  • You can boot from a live drive in the computer without any internal operating system and then use Netcat nc. In Ubuntu you can do it according to this link. If it does not work for you, nc might be compiled in a different way or from a different version of source code, and you should find how to use it in man nc or info nc, or use Ubuntu live drives at both ends. – sudodus Jul 28 '20 at 16:23
