Postby mandm » Tue Jan 24, 2012 4:53 am

Do you guys have a suggestion on what tools i could use to make a few copies/clones of my dream plug onto other dream plugs?

for instance i have a dream plug with some customizations ? now i want to save some time in doing the same on all the other servers

Please let me know

The easiest way to clone an installation is to plug the drives into another Linux box, mount them, and 'cp -a' from one to the other.
