[expert] cloning hard drives

[Bug Hunter]

  I have a project in which I need to set up linux (we will be using
mandrake) on a machine, and the other identical machines will be cloned
from that hard drive.

  Can I use DD to clone the entire hard drive?  What if the drives are
different sizes?  Will it clone a 1 gig to a 2 gig drive?


thanks!
