How to clone a Linux box
========================
* Gather harddrive information from original system using fdisk

* Boot new system off of boot cdrom

* Make partitions and file systems on new system equal to size or
orignal systems used space.

	fdisk /dev/sda

* Make the file system on the new partitions

	mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1

* Mount the partitions:

	mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

* Copy the data from the old system to the new system:

	rsync -av --links --hard-links --numeric-ids --exclude=/dev/* --exclude=/proc/* --exclude=/sys/* / root@172.16.1.33:/mnt

* Edit important config files that may have change from the old system to the new system:

	/mnt/grub/boot/menu.lst
	/mnt/grub/boot/device.map
	/mnt/etc/fstab

* Install boot loader (GRUB)
