23 Do you also want to copy configuration and data files, attaining a total
24 replica ? If so, copying the world file is a start, but then you'll have a
25 plethora of /etc and /var files through which to sift.

27 Perhaps a little more detailed context to your problem would allow for more
28 accurate/helpful recommendations ? I.e., are you looking for near-complete
29 duplication, or just a collection of familiar packages which happens to be on
30 similar hardware ?
