"dump" and "restore" come to mind. But so does the entry at the bottom of
one of the install menus that says, "Load configuration floppy" or some
such. Just how might one create this configuration floppy? It hints at the
ability to save an installation's parameters for future reuse. Then it
would be real easy to go around to multiple machines and get them started
installing from a local NFS system.
