I note that someone has already given you a scripting solution. > > > Thanks, Irek > If you have a large number of identical hardware machines to image - a multicast solution that allows defining build rules (ie static network addresses, hostname, /etc/host, passwords, usernames, network shares and logons etc) might save time and make management easier. eg. FAI (most excellent) Clonezilla SE (excellent), systemimager (I haven't used), and others. For identical software and different hardware using a package list (dpkg --get-selections > package.list) can be used. For large deployments consider Puppet (very good, especially in mixed environments). Cheers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
