Maybe some variation of the method for duplicating partitions' contents mentioned in the handbook can help here: You would need a script to create standard loader, slice and partitions according to your needs (to be calculated from the actual disk capacities) and then dump / restore from the "master system". I'm sure others will encourage you to follow a more professional approach. :-) -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
