They removed the clearly understood "clone system" when sles9 came out.. but
you can still do it.  Start yast2, under Misc choose Autoinstallation, then
Under "tools" choose "create reference profile."  Now comes the completely
non-intuitive part... do NOT check the boxes of the things you want cloned
into the resulting xml file.  If you check it, it then makes those bits
"reference" settings. So basically, if you just leave everything unchecked,
and click the "create" button, it should clone your system.

You'll go back to the previous display and can now look at things like
partitioning, or software, and see that it's set to the system's settings.
Then you can save the file from the "file" menu.
