Yes it is as long as the hardware is of the same type. We did that often at work - much faster than installing from CD... We used simply a tar command, left out /proc /sys and /dev and created some nodes in /dev by hand. That was all on identical machines. A recompile may be required when the processor architecture is a different one or something else of the hardware is not compatible (ide vs. scsi). > if yes : Will it be the same as Installing the OS from cd ? Not exactly the same but mostly a well working system (if the source was one).
