I'd say do the basic install, don't run the config's such as CLUSTER_CONFIG.COM or TCPIP$CONFIG.COM then boot standalone and do a BACKUP/IMAGE DUA0: DUA1: Put the resulting disk in a machine and do the configs and load the licenses. I think you should be fine at that point, though I've never really tried it. When I move system disks from one machine to another it's because I'm upgrading that machine and all I've had to deal with so far was the Ethernet device changing. Zane | Zane H.
