OK.
1. I dd the netinst iso to a flash disk & boot the machine with it.
2. I try to rsync the whole system to my new machine
by "rsync -av /* --exclude={/home/user/*,/sys/*,/dev/*,/proc/*,/mnt/*}
then the system got crash...
//if this succeed, then I can chroot into the new 'system', install
the kernel and grub, etc.
I always use this way to install OS...
