[TriLUG] Using a cloning device on Red Hat

There's a few considerations, generally the same as any system.


Make sure that the disk is quiet, boot from a Knoppix CD, Rescue Disc, G4u,
etc.

Make sure that your target is at least as large as the source.


Deal with the duplicate system name, in all of it's hiding places, and IP
config, prior to connecting it to the same network as the original.



Good luck,


  Kevin
