You can't have it do the same expo on 2 machines. You can do multiple expos, the total output will be doubled.

Additionally I´m interested in a method to install prime95 to several computers at one. I don´t want to start and setup every computer seperatelly. Best would be if I just have one base image ... and some configuration changes.
Which configuration options I have to change (pc hardware, ...) to automate such an installation?

Several folks have done this.
- You will want to get the basic install up and running, and set all the parameters, like work type, etc. on your base machine.
- As an optional intial set up step that you may want to do, is to make sure all of your primenet settings (like worktypes) are set.
- Then copy the Prime95 folder to a USB drive or the like.
- You will want to delete the worktodo.txt and any fxxxxxx, pxxxxxx, qxxxxx, and rxxxxx files (on the USB drive).
- You will want to clear out the "ComputerGUID=" and "ComputerID=" values in local.txt.
- Set "ManualComm=1" in prime.txt. (This is just a convience)
This is the basic set up for the install "package".
- Take it to the new machine, copy the folder, run prime95 from the new machine.
- Set the new computer id from the menu.
- Make sure any computer specific settings are changed (especially true if your are using family and friend's PCs.
- Make sure you are connected to the net, then from the menu uncheck, "Do Not contact PrimeNet automatically".
- Move to the next machine, repeat the steps 7 - 11
