As I said, I think it's a nice idea. But I'm not sure if this is even |
21 |
possible to implement. In how much detail do you wan't to clone the |
22 |
system? Just making aprofile to reinstall the same packages at some |
23 |
random other machine is quite easy, but taking _all_ settings with it |
24 |
could be a bit harder. |
