Computer Learning, My Free Writing on Computer and Information technology

Sometimes, it’s necessary for us to install operating system with same configurations on large amount of computers (eg: 100 PCs) which have same hardware’s specifications.

To make things easier and more efficient, you can use cloning facility on some Linux distributions (eg: Ubuntu)

1. Boots your computer using harddisk that will be the master (the harddisk going to be cloned), and attach other harddisks that will receive the cloning
2. Open command prompt then execute:

   user@linux# sudo /bin/dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb  

3. “/dev/hda” is the cloning’s source or you may consider it as the master, while “dev/hdb” is the destination. Execute this command as much as the amount of clonings you’d like to have

PS: don’t write the command incorrectly (eg: reversed), since it can make the master’s hard disk will be corrupt and error. You could use gParted first to know the hard disk’s name.
