Check out RedHat's kickstart scripting tool, you just tell it to use nfs
(ugh), and configure a post-install script to setup configuration options,
stick the floppy in the machine, boot, and goto the next machine. Very
usefull to re-create the same setup, if you ever need to re-install the
machines. If you need package updates, just stick the new package in the
install dir on the NFS server, and the kickstart script will use that one
instead :-)
Hope this helps

Hi gang,
Sorry to go off-topic here! I'm looking for a "cloning" software that will
allow me to roll-out 2.4 (redhat gimped version) + ext3 + grub to a farm of
machines in a month or two. Currently we are running 2.2 + ext2 + lilo.
So far I have found two options -

Norton Ghost ($$).
Thoughts? - much thanks for your time
Peter
