But remote install works great also if the only similarity of the two 
machines is the network card. And as I said: It is a little bit tricky when 
there are different network cards, but that does not mean that it is 
difficult or impossible.
In Order to clone harddisks you must physically remove the one from the new 
machine, configure it as slave and use a utility to copy the image. (It might 
actually be possible to save the image on the network and use a thin network 
client to copy it, but I haven't tried it.) After that you must reconfigure 
it as master and put it back in.

Including the hardware work? I have seen some computer cases where it would 
have taken me these 10 minutes just to figure out how to get the harddisk out 
of it :-(
