-> I am a system OEM in Bangalore,India selling systems bundled with
-> Mandrakelinux. The problem is that with every system I sell, I need to
-> install & configure the system which takes HOURS!. Can I do a diskcopy
-> instead?
-> 
-> Please Help. This is a major bottleneck for  me.

-many solutions:
-
-- make an install on drive hdb, then :
-      dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/hdc
-  but you should make sure the hardware is *REALLY* identical.
-
-- try the oem feature
-   3. - burn a cd out of *latest* cooker or 8.0 and above.
-      - boot on it telling "oem" to syslinux
-      !! it will destroy every data on the harddrive or
-         resize (or use free space) if *ONLY* one fat partition is defined !!
-      - you now have a very automated install matrix 
-      (duplicate it with "dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/hdc bs=1M count=730")
-
-    put the harddrive in the oem box, the user will now have an *very* automated
-    install, just asking the root password and user password, and some other
-    question according its hardware.
-
-   4. just like 3. but you may have to mount /cdrom after typing rescue on
-      syslinux prompt (oem script do it automatically if a automatic boot nfs
-      network has been done as server is known). under /cdrom may be anything
-      as long as it provides an installation tree of Mandrakelinux.
-      after that run oem script by typing "/etc/oem -f" for normal installation
-      or "/etc/oem -f server" for server installation (normal with server installed).
-
-   5. (just like 3. without burning a cd, doing the first part by hand)
-      have a look at the /etc/oem script on the rescue and do it by hand...

-cu Pixel, fpons.

-comments:
-1. maybe copy unnecessary things -> take too long
-   solution -> use bs=8k count=xxxx 
-2. kernel_reread can be found on the new rescue, source is also at end of this
-mail. This solution works with one partition. Can be easily enhanced to many
-primary partitions... For extended partitions, more complicated, but not much :)
-3. has just been added in latest cooker. It may still have some pb. The main
-current limitation is IDE only, though it can be fixed easily for special cases.
