Hey everyone-

I need to make 40 copies of one harddrive for 40 workstations. This is =
the first time that I have ever had to do this with Linux workstations. =
What I have done in the past with Windows workstations is use Partition =
Magic to copy the partitions, this however is not working do to the fact =
that LILO is in the MBR and I do not know how to duplicate the MBR to =
make the copies bootable. I have checked the Howtos and other sources =
and I cannot find any info on this. If I can Make this work, this will =
only help my arguement to my company to eliminate Windows workstations =
in our offices. Any help would be appreciated.

-Thanks
