hi
on 1:
If it were me and I wanted to do this once I would put the hard disk in the
working system, format the disk with cfdisk, and then just use konqueror to
copy the whole file system over. This is a btute force method and someone
else of the mailing list will have something easier and more elangant.

I guess that there is something to do this but the only thing I can suggest is
the progeny autoinstall thingy.
sorry that I have not been very helpful
