Cloning : Installing linux in multiple machines
Mar 6, 2009 by mohamed hanoosh
In one of my earlier post, I mentioned how to set up an Ubuntu mirror and using it for installing Linux. There are many other ways to install Linux in more than one machine(as in the case of a lab).
Suppose you have one machine which has all the softwares installed and other necessary settings. This installation can be cloned to another using cloning tools like g4u.
g4u(Ghost for Unix) is a cloning tool, which comes as a live CD. Booting with g4u live cd will take to a terminal. Typing help will display the commands available. It has options to upload an image to ftp server, restore image from ftp server, copy from one hard disk to another. All the commands are self explanatory.
