Re: Drive images

Good Morning Bill,

Norton Ghost works nicely for this. Just make sure you make a smaller
"default" install on the first system. If you don't want to use Ghost,
the following is a good link taken from the SGI Sys-Admin manual.

http://www.futuretech.vuurwerk.nl/disksfiles.html#CLONE

Just ignore the SGI/Irix specific stuff. The beauty of this is, is it
allows you to do disk cloning via a network (NFS). Just make sure that
you have all the permissions and exports set-up correctly. Another
network capable method would be to use rsync. With rsync you could even
do it securely (via SSH) to remote systems.

Cheers and hope this helps.
Scott
