slave% nc -l -p 9000 | dd of=/dev/sda (Replace /dev/sda with actual drive on your slave machine)
master% dd if=/dev/sda | nc 192.168.0.254 9000
That's it. You may have to wait for long time depending upon network speed and size of your harddrive. Typically 36GB drive may take 50 minutes over 100Mbps link. Again rather than cloning complete drive we can clone only relevant partitions and MBR only. That will make cloning much faster like we saw in above section.
