http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1489602 joined by x11vnc's author has some hints on setting up what you had in mind.

It's a GUI for the local screen, so presumably yes on both if http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=74791 is any indication...

After a "swapoff /dev/sdb10" from the Live CD (since without even asking -like most- it will use any it finds; risky as that is for rescue operations in case of a hard disk "on its way out"),...

Thanks all the more! There's one further piece of advice that might complement this thread:

Many thanks again for your help and these opportunities to benefit from your experience! :) I recalled duplicate not-so-Universally-Unique-IDs were sometimes causing unhandled errors in RAIDs, as...

Migrating UUIDs as in reading them with blkid /dev/sdb5 and then setting them by tune2fs /dev/sdc5 -U "49149403-34b5-4058-a80a-aa09baf689a9" etc. (which could probably be made into a one-liner with...

All went well. :)
Now while I'm at it, since cp has no verify option, is there a "surefire" way to compare the copies of entire trees for both completeness (all files and attributes/rights) and...

Well, the root partition / for one thing is expected to have links that might go to other partitions, such as:

To migrate Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS to a new hard disk, ext4 partitions have been created there, e.g. the new "/" (named root so it will be recognizably mounted as /media/root when double-clicked) as seen...

That's because posts preaching the least suitable approach IMHO are seen all over the Internet for many a "unixoid" system:
