For all of us interested in, please look at the posted messages' archive. The solutions for cloning stand-alone machines seem to me the old ones: learning 'dump' and 'restore' - NOT available on 'penguins' o.s.', and burning optical discs with your own compiled packages - .tgz -. I'll be away for a while, I must setup GNUmail - or Postilion, or Pine, or Mutt - and the new DSL connection: until that, I'll not post here any more, otherwise it would be a shame. .VWV.
