Network issue on a cloned server

[R. Scott Belford]

Running the oem-config script will also remove the
/etc/udev/rules.d/70* file.  It also leaves the recipients of your
cloned images with a 'like new' first boot.  I've been doing this for
our gifted labs and computers for a few years now with Clonezilla.
