Hello fellow Ubuntu users,
Please assist me with the following. I have two identical PC's - they are exactly the same, same MB, same processor, same RAM, same HD etc. etc. Not a single bit of difference. Now, on one of them which I shall henceforth name the 'work-PC' I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 which is working great. The other one, baptized 'media-PC' does not have any operating system whatsoever installed. To save me the hassle of going through the installation process again, I wish to create some sort of image from the work-PC which I then directly install on the media-PC. So, complete with all partitions (if that's possible), files, installed packages etc. A direct copy, if you will.
The question is: how do I do this? I'd rather not be dependent on 3rd party software. I have a 1 TB external (USB) disk which I would like to use so I can spare writable CD's and DVD's.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
