Cloning a configured Gentoo system to identical PCs

pmgas

Hi

Is there a possility to install gentoo parallel on serveral identical pcs?

We installed Gentoo on one system and cloned it with norton ghost, it
worked, but I am interested in a better way to distribute the gentoo-
image to more than one PC!
I know that I can produce an image with dd, but how can I distribute it
multicast?
Has anybody found a better way?

best regards

if they are completely and utterly identical in every way:

dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb

then put the second hard disk in the 2nd computer and repeat
