Description Chad Robinson 2005-10-03 05:45:39 UTC

The rsync tool is an incredibly useful facility. I've used it to duplicate one
system to another by simply using a boot CD, configuring the network, then using
rsync to copy from one box to the new system.

I realize the installation media would be huge if you put every tool in the
world on it, but in terms of useful, Swiss-army-knife category utilities, this
is definitely one of the more powerful. PLEASE consider including it on future
install CDs.
