Hello all. It is my intention to set up a lab of PCs here at my college to dual-boot Debian and NT. I have some questions related to setting up Debian on all these machines, in such a way that they are all identical.
My basic strategy at the moment is to configure a `prototype' machine first, with the desired NIS/NFS setup, X, network support, KDE etc. Then I want to make a mirror image of this hard drive and copy it onto other machines using some third-party commercial software from PowerQuest or Quarterdeck. (Aside: Can I do this any other way with open software?) For this to work, I have to configure this prototype machine in such a way that it doesn't know its own IP address when it's booting, and has to be told what it is. I know this is possible, I'm just not sure how to do it. regards, vinny
