Just one caveat: make sure to remove the MAC address portion of any ifcfg-ethX
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts (the HWADDR parameter, I think, is the
right one). Been there, done that, cloning systems like that. Did a cluster
of 30 Sun Ultra 30 workstations with Aurora Linux 1.0 a few years back; had
to make sure to remove the MAC address from the master prior to cloning.
