If all your machines are alike this should work but here is another problem. If you use Ghost in byte to byte copy mode what happens if one of the disks has bad blocks. If we succeed I would be glad to notify you. I would appreciate any information you could send us on your experiences with this method. Boot up problems may exist but that is what Linux rescue disks are for. You may have to run lilo or grub-install again. But since multiple machines can be done at once we have found this method useful in the past. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University 715 Stadium Dr. San Antonio, TX 78212-7200 telephone: (210)-999-7484 email:akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxx -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
