Hi,
I would like to duplicate a hard drive that has Debian
installed to use of several additional computers.
I can write a script which does:
sfdisk to partition the new drive;
mke2fs to make file systems on the new drive;
mkswap to initialize the swap area on the new drive;
cd old-partition; find . -mount | cpio -pdm /new-partition
(for each partition).
But then to finish it seems I need to boot the new computer
(after installing the new drive) with a boot floppy and
run lilo by hand.
Is there some way to also install the stuff that lilo does
on the new drive? The new machines will not usually have
a floppy so I would like to avoid that step.
thanks,
Stuart
