Yeah, I'm aware of the need to deal with non-identical hardware, and for each system to boot up with unique hostnames, etc., making a need for a clone to be an almost-finished install. But my question still stands. I'm curious as to whether there's a significant speed difference between cloning and finishing the install, compared to doing a fresh install on each computer. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
