I'm a sysadmin and have two Debian GNU/Linux potato servers and 50 windows 95 workstations under my care.
My problem is with the 50 workstations: (the 50 workstations have the same hardware) I want to install ONE workstation and then mirror the hard disk to all other workstations. The first time I did it was with ghost and I hooked up the installed hard disk to every client and mirrored it... Not a nice job to do and there must be a better way do do it! I know that ghost CAN use NETBIOS connections and such but I don't know how to boot it from a 1.44" flop and then use ghost. My question: I want to boot the workstation to be installed from a floppy with Linux or DOS. Then I want to make a connection to my server (or the installed workstation) and mirror the hard disk from a file (or hard disk). Frankly I don't care what is used or how it's being done (Linux/DOS with dd/ghost or something else!) but I don't want to hook-up all 50 workstations again... Thanks for any ideas, Onno
