I have two identical pieces of Hardware: AST 486DX50, 815MB HD, 8 MB Ram ... Machine #1 is the production system right now, and I would like to make machine #2 an exact duplicate for redundancy. Both HD's are partitioned the same. How do I make machine #2 a clone of machine #1. I have tried the back-to-back tar solution, and it doesn't work (everything gets owned by root, and permissions get messed up). Dump looks like what I need, but it doesn't seem to want to work either!! Can someone give me a method to actually do this. I need a clone... meaning all user accounts, permissions, X11, everything are identical. HELP... -Troy
