How about installing one, and using the anaconda-ks that is generated to install the other two?
That was my first plan. But that just saves the time going through the install selection and getting the same stuff installed.
I would still have to do the yum update (though there was the post about how to include the update repo in a kickstart install. Then I have the powerk8 kernel patch to install (these are old systems with new drives), followed by a number of config file changes (setting up IPtables, changing SSHD, configing VNC, etc). All that is a lot to work out for a kickstart install.
The pointer of running dd fromLinux Rescue sounded good. But Clonezilla calls for some real investigation.
have you tried using Norton Ghost? I've used this many times and works nicely replicating complete systems. Upon boot though, unless the hardware/chipsets are identical as well, you'll go through some minor gyrations while kudzu removes and adds drivers for the systems.
