And if the second machine is so similar, then using drive image is an even
better alternative. It allows you to copy/clone the first install (after
applying all the tweaking you need) to as many additional machines as
necessary. Just make sure you have enough licenses available.
The copy process for a typical 300mb install is around 10-15 minutes. Figure
on saving the install time as well as saving yourself from duplicating all
the additional installations of utilities, fixpacks, updates, tweakings,
editing the config.sys etc... do it once, clone it and keep a copy for
restoring back to your clean install in the future should it be necessary.
