Hi all,
I am trying to find an easy way to create a hard drive image. I found this little how-to http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.ph...veUsingKnoppix
my question is, does this copy over partition and grub information as well. What i want to be able to do is setup one machine perfect then create an image, and install that image on the rest of the machines. I am using arch linux as the distro, not sure if that matters tho.
any help is great,
thanks.
