Help cloning a System (Netbook Samsung NC10) SOLVED

Hi.

I have successfully installed arch in a Samsung NC10 netbook, I have reduced the Windows Partition to 40 GB and used the rest for Arch. I have the system full configured and working.

Now I have 2 more identical Samsung NC10 to install. I have been looking ate different ways to clone the installation, one option was looking at g4u as I liked to clone full disk (including windows, etc), I have installed guu in a usb key, booted and the problem is that g4u does not detect the network interface :-(

I was thinking of using dd and ssh to dd the whole disk by ssh from a NC10 to the other

but I need a usb live system with sshd installed (any arch that satisfy this?)

I also have a third system that could use as an intermediate sshd server for storing the hd dd image

do you think this could work?

Or there is another best way to do this?

any help appreciated

Thanks

I've done that before, though it is a bit faster to use dd an netcat:

The arch live-usb is a regular Arch system. You can install any package with pacman, including sshd.

Hi.

Thanks for the link

Finally I realized that I had a big usb external HD, then used the hd for storing the dd image and then loading on the other nc 10, so I have to copy the image just one time and write to the different nc10

I taked a long time, but now it is done.

Thanks

It's called backup ))

This is the easiest solution, that i could use too.

Arch Linux
