I’ve asked this question before and haven’t found a definitive answer yet - what files besides fstab and menu.lst would need to be modified after cloning with Clonezille/PING or similar clone software (for system backup purposes)? Presumably they would be identical, but, for instance, menu.lst and fstab have entries that are the drive specific identification that doesn’t get cloned. What other system files do I need to know about and fix after cloning? I don’t think it’s standard for apps to use this disk identification scheme, so I think it’s only the OS I have to worry about.
menu.lst
