Re: Cloning a linux box

Another method to install multiple machines the same way is with
kickstart,  It's typically best that you start out with kickstart in
mind. In your case the tar method might be easier, depends how many
changes you made post install.

On the existing machine you will find an anaconde-ks.cfg file in root's
home directory, that has all the information to setup a new machine
identically to the post install state of the original.

you can find all the info on the redhat manuals page: 
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/

you can customize the ks config to handle your post install configs as
well.
