Hello Debian Land... I was wondering if there is any way to install debian with the same packages for a number of hardware identical machines.
I want to install a base set of useful packages for all my fellow workers, based on the packages I have installed on my machine at the moment. I know that there is one way to do this, but I am not too keen on it. I could figure out all the packages I have on my machine and create a debian CD with all the packages, then all that would be needed to is install all of the packages on the CD. We have the technology to get this done, it just seems a lot of work sorting out all the packages. I remember back in my Slackware days that is was possible to define everything to be installed in a text file, then the install program would do the rest. I realise this would be easier on slackware as it didn't have any checking during installation. Any one have any good solutions out there??? Thanks. -- John Stevenson, Objective Alliance: www.oa.nl "Objects are not a technology, they are a state of mind"
