  [ excerpt taken from distfile's README ]

  Dolly is used to clone the installation of one machine to (possibly
  many) other machines. It can distribute image-files (even gnu-zipped),
  partitions or whole hard disk drives to other partitions or hard
  disk drives. As it forms a "virtual TCP ring" to distribute data,
  it works best with fast switched networks (we were able to clone a
  2 GB Windows NT partition to 15 machines in our cluster over Gigabit
  Ethernet in less than 4 minutes).

  As dolly clones whole partitions block-wise it works for most
  filesystems. We used it to clone partitions of the following type:
  Linux, Windows NT, Oberon, Solaris (most of our machines have multi
  boot setups). We have a small (additional) Linux installation on
  all of our machines or use a small one-floppy-disk-linux (e.g.
  muLinux) to do the cloning. On newer machines we use PXE to boot a
  small system in a RAM disk. From that system we then clone the hard
  disks in the machines.
