There might come up a case where you need to install same kind of OS and other Softwares( which are required for daily use) on multiple systems. One of the ways to do it is follow the same procedure on each of the machines, which is obviously a pain. Here’s a easy way to do it by using Clonezilla<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now with clonezilla you will have to setup one system only, this this would obviously take time. But once the first system is done, you can just setup rest on other machines in few minutes.<\/p>\n

Here are the steps, that I used to follow to create system with both Windows 7 and Ubuntu in under 10 minutes. With all softwares installed which included Counter strike on windows, Couple of IDE’s on Ubuntu and Git , mySql , Java and more on Ubuntu.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Setup a perfect system. Install OS \tand other software that are required. Once the system is ready we \tneed to download few softwares.\n
      \n
    1. 7zip ( \t\tp7zip-full_9.04~dfsg.1-1_i386.deb).<\/li>\n
    2. Tuxboot (Tuxboot-linux-8 ).<\/li>\n
    3. Clonezilla \t\t(clonezilla-live-1.2.6-40-i686.iso).All three of these are freely \t\tavailable.<\/li>\n
    4. And we would also need a USB \t\tdrive preferably with space more than 16GB , as windows 7 \t\tinstallation takes 15 GB approx and Ubuntu 11.10 will take around \t\t6GB and little extra for other softwares. Clonezilla uses very \t\teffective compression technique will reduce size to approx half. So \t\t16GB USB drive would work just fine.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    5. Install \tCloneZilla on USB drive.<\/a><\/li>\n
    6. Once \tClonezilla is installed , its time to make image of Perfect System.<\/a><\/li>\n
    7. After image is done, we are ready \tto clone out perfect system, to other machines.<\/li>\n
    8. Making Clone of Existing image, \tProcess to make clone are pretty much same as process described in \tstep-3. Except Step-11 of \u201cmaking \timage<\/a>\u201d . Just select restore disk, this will create clone of \timage on disk. And ALL EXISTING DATA FROM DISK WILL BE ERASED.\u00a0Following \u00a0are the links of images depicting step 5. \u00a0Image 1<\/a>,Image 2<\/a>,Image 3,Image 4,Image 5,Image 6,Image 7,Image 8,Image 9. There images are taken from a camera, hence please don’t mind \u00a0their quality.<\/li>\n
    9. This is it , your next system is \tready within few minutes. Now this process can be repeated again \tand again, to create clone of existing systems.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
