If your machines have _identical_ installations, you could also try our "Dolly" disk/partition cloning tool [1]. It allows you to clone disks/partitions to any number of nodes. It connects the node with a simple TCP multi-drop chain and therefore distributes the data with around 10 MB/s independent on the number of nodes (for Fast Ethernet and fast enough disks/systems). For example we cloned a 2 GB Windows NT partition to 24 nodes in less than 4 minutes. Please let me know if Dolly was helpfull to you.
