I would think he could if he booted the target from a Live CD that had
rsync on it, then partitioned and formatted his drives, and used rsync
to sync over all but /sys and /proc.  After rsync was finished, he could
then install Grub and verify the layout was the same as the source, then
reboot from the HD.  At least it seems like it would work.  Unless he
has a very fast connection though, a DVD install may be faster.  Perhaps
an rsync after a DVD install would be fastest.
