If the hardware is similar enough that you can use clonezilla and you have a lot
of machines, set up drbl to pxe-boot into clonezilla with the server mounted to
access the image storage: http://drbl.sourceforge.net/. There's a yum repo that
works with rhel/centos. Unlike cobbler, etc., this will also work to clone
other linux versions and windows. If the image is small enough, you can also
build a self-booting DVD that contains clonezilla plus the imagae - or you can
put them on a bootable USB device.
