dump for /, /var, and /usr.
Then do a minimal install on the clone, setting up the appropriate

post cloning thingys
Here's an excellent dump/restore prodecure that I've successfully

Copying with dd(1) is not as fast :)
Have you tried dcfldd? sysutils/dcfldd
Thank you. I hadn't thought of that. This is what I
appreciate about groups like this.

Right :) It also allows restoring in a different partition layout.
Any chance of there being a way
