Mass duplication of linux drives

[Brian Cluff]

If they are all on a network, not standalone systems.
Look on freshmeat for a nice little minidistro called CLUCLO.  Basicly you
boot a computer with this floppy and it will mirror an install only that
computer.  Its a piece of cake, you just put it in the system, when its done
booting it beeps 4 times and put pop the floppy out and put it in the next
system.

I've never actually used cluclo to mirror any system, I have dug though how
it does it and I dont see any reason why it wont work.  What I used to for
was to gut out all the mirroring things and put a ram testing program in its
place, so that I could test all the ram in an entire lab at once :)

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.
