Don,
Do you run NetBSD? I installed out of joke last weekend. Absolutely  
fantastic OS. True old-fashion Unix.
I am still FreeBSD guy and OpenBSD for PF, NAT but if I had old Amiga or  
more exotic hardware
I would use NetBSD in a blink of an eye.

As of my 2c about the topic I have to agree with Don. Cloning systems is  
something which is well documented (FreeBSD Handbook for instance) and  
done countless times by sys-admin all over the world.

Best,
Predrag

P. S. I wish all of you my computer bodies from TFUG great Thanksgiving  
holiday and good time with your families.
