The only problem I see with dd is that it won't do any error checking, |

The other option is clonezilla. It will be a bit more work for you, but |

you can script it to clone the partitions / drives / copy boot loaders |

and so on. Then the remote assistant can just boot it (from usb key |
19 |
even) and press go! |
