    parted /dev/sda mktable gpt
    parted /dev/sda mkpart root 1 -- -1

    mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1

    mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/root

    # this only copies rootfs. If you have separate /home, /var, etc. then you need to run separate commands for those.
    rsync -avHPAXx sourceMachine:/ /mnt/root/

    cd /mnt/root
    mkdir dev proc sys media mnt


    # next 4 lines: general, non-arch based (works for arch too, but pacman won't work within chroot)
    mount -o rbind /dev dev
    mount -o rbind /proc proc
    mount -o rbind /sys sys
    chroot /mnt/root

    # next 1 line: archlinux based (requires arch-install-scripts package)
    arch-chroot /mnt/root

            (Optional) remove all lines from this file

        grub-install /dev/$disk
        grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

        vim /boot/grub/grub.cfg
            make sure UUIDs are right

            mkinitrd
        #arch/manjaro; replace "linux" with your kernel name. List first with ls.
            mkinitcpio -p /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset
        #arch/manjaro alternative; (add kernel version in there, based on filenames in /lib/modules/)
            mkinitramfs -g /boot/initramfs-...-x86_64.img -k ...

        #debian based:

        exit
