    Alright! Now I need to install some drivers, then back onto the live CD to restore the backup and GRUB. Nearly done. Finally.

      @neurario You shouldn't have to do anything with GRUB again, you already installed it.

      @widget Why is that, if you don't mind me asking?

        @neurario Some of the files in /etc are auto-generated at runtime and would be stale in a backup.

      @widget I don't think that specifically is an issue, because you shouldn't have to re-add the users to the system.

      @widget All of that should be saved in /etc though. There isn't some special "registry" or what have you for login data that exists outside of the filesystem, it all has to be written down somewhere so the programs that need to can access it.

      @widget Accounts would be set up is my point. As for programs missing, that's what /usr/portage/packages and /var/lib/portage are for.
