Have used refracta to clone a Lubuntu 14.04.1 LTS system to a liveCD and installing it on another piece of hardware using refractainstaller.
The obstacle was to get refracta installed on the original system, since there is a major dependency problem: live-config-sysvinit cannot be installed since it depends on sysvinit (>= 2.86) which is a retired package and has been replaced by sysvinit-utils (more details see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... ug/1408135here is the fix I used: download live-config-sysvinit_4.0~a1-1_all.deb
extract using archive manager (from
http://live-systems.org/files/4.x/packa ... /4.0~a1-1/)
change dependencies (the extracted directory has a file ~/DEBIAN/control where the dependencies are listed you change the dependencies from sysvinit >=2.86 to sysvinit-utils)
build a new .deb file using dpkg-deb /yourPathToTheExtractedDebFile (details:
http://www.sj-vs.net/creating-a-simple- ... structure/)
install live-config-sysvinit.
download live-confic_4.0~a1-1_all.deb from
http://live-systems.org/files/4.x/packa ... /4.0~a1-1/ and install
after this refractasnapshot_base, refractasnapshot_gui, refractainstaller_base and refractainstaller_gui can be installed using GDebi package installer.
The System is cloned using refractasnapshot, which creates a live CD .iso file. Write that to a DVD, start the new system from the DVD and run Refracta Installer from the System Tools Menue.
As I said, the obstacle was the dependency problem which took me about 5hrs to figure out. The cloning process itself can be done within an hour.
