be able to cluster 2 linux servers
online cloning / replication between 2 linux servers.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

- create a bootable file that can be copied to dvd-rw / cd-rw or to dds
Meaning how you can create a bootable linux installation disc? Please explain your question some more....

- be able to cluster 2 linux servers
This is depending on what the reason is for your clustering need.... cluster a webserver for performance reasons, cluster for failover, cluster for CPU power for large calculations? Can you please tell us the reason why you want to build a cluster? What you can do for a start is check this website: http://www.redhat.com/software/rha/cluster/

- online cloning / replication between 2 linux servers.
There are quite some projects out there that can help you, you can even code your own it is in basic not that hard to write a replication agent for linux. Just google for this subject you can also take a look at: http://www.cs.bgu.ac.il/~srfs/

Johan Louwers.
