MKlinke at http://www.redhat.com/archives/redhat-list/2003-September/msg01611.html discusses how one can use bootnet.img and On the destination (new disk you are creating) type: "nc -l -p <port> | dd of=/dev/hdx" On the source (system you wish to duplicate) type: "dd if=/dev/hdx | nc <addr of other machine> <port as above>" to clone a RH 9 disk. I am a little (OK, lot) confused on the exact steps I should take and what to search for to learn how to do it. IIUI, RH does not have a bootnet.img. I did find a boot.iso on CD 1. If I burn a CD with boot.iso, will that create a "linux rescue" bootable type of CD? Does that mean I would stop the RH 9 server source, boot both machines from the "linux rescue" CD, and then do nc/dd as above? I will have a clean hard disk on the destination machine. Hence, everything needs to be on the boot CD or a floppy. Will the "linux rescue" CD have sufficient NIC drivers to enable a connection between the two systems (on a LAN using internal ips)? Please advise me as to whether this is the correct approach or if it is totally bonkers.
