or you could create a compressed dd dump of the filesystem and provide
a little bootdisk which simply decompresses and dd's it back on.
provided the harddisk and partitions are the same size.

or you could tar up the root directory except for /dev and /proc and
provide a boot disk to untar it onto a disk on which you created
partitions all from a boot disk. after untaring you only need to
recreate /dev and install lilo. that's a 20 line script if you ask
me...
