Re: Copying kernel and OS
It should work fine. You need to preserve mod and access times as well as flags and permissions. If you are going to do this on a repeated basis, I'd look into something like cvsup or rsync, maybe even mirror, to keep the slow machines directory structures in sync rather than a cp -Rp. Paul.
