Howdy,
If you are cloning to an identical disk, then by far the easiest way is
to boot into single user mode and then (assuming the original is hda and
the copy is hdb):
# cp /dev/hda /dev/hdb
And yes this will really work! So try it before posting flames! And it
will copy Linux, Windoze, and b

etc.

We use it for our labs 'round here. It does IPX/IP multicast, remote
reboot,
hidden partitions to boot from(don't need boot floppies), centralized

Thanks for the tip Adam. freshmeat's search engine seems to be having a
