Rhugga, I've used this method with surprising success on linux and windows system alike. For example, I have a couple of desktop systems that are clones of my dual-OS (using grub) laptop. Boot up both systems with the bootnet.img and use "linux rescue" at the boot prompt. (You'll need a network source for the redhat software) Proceed to a shell prompt on both systems On the destination (new disk you are creating) type: "nc -l -p <port> | dd of=/dev/hdx" On the source (system you wish to duplicate) type: "dd if=/dev/hdx | nc <addr of other machine> <port as above>" That's it in a nutshell but you can find more info by doing a google search for the terms "clone nc dd" Regards, Mike Klinke -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
