Lars,

Assuming the hardware is the same or mostly compatible on the two systems.....

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 system you are creating a new drive type:
"nc -l -p <port> | dd of=/dev/hdx"
where x is the drive you wish to duplicate (fdisk -l)

On the system you wish to duplicate type:
"dd if=/dev/hdx | nc <addr of other machine> <port as above>"
where x is the drive you're writing. (fdisk -l)

That's it in a nutshell but you can find more info by doing a google search
for the terms "clone nc dd"
