I have not used Ghost, but for my RHL 8.0 installations, I
cloned a disk from one system to short-cut the building of
another. IIRC, about the only significant thing I had to do
on the destination system was change the IP address and
hostname. (If they're using DHCP, then even that wouldn't
be necessary.)
Good luck.
