Just one clone, not a massive install. What tools would you use? Easiest/quickest? Machines are on an Ethernet, have CD/DVD and floppy drives.
Just for a quick/hard copy, I have sucessfully used knoppix to boot the 2nd machine, replicated the partitions myself and then copied everything from the main machine using "scp -R root@master:/* ." .... not very pretty but it worked... :-)
Ps: I also needed to install grub/lilo by hand after the copy, I was forgetting about that.. just one more command line :-)
