Message-ID: <20020123131208.D55706-100000@gilliam.users.flyingcroc.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-small@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello all-- We currently have 350+ FreeBSD installations on our network and are constantly adding new servers and reinstalling (upgrading) old installations. I am looking at creating a PicoBSD floppy that would essentially make an installation as easy as possible and require little intervention as our NOC attendants often make mistakes and we end up with non-standard systems. First off, I've found very little documentation on the picobsd project. This is what I've read so far: http://csl.cse.ucsc.edu/~brucem/pico_notes.htm http://people.freebsd.org/~picobsd/picobsd.html So, if anyone has a better document I can look at I'd appreciate it. I know there's a picobsd configuration for installs in the src, but it's incomplete and I haven't gotten a well enough grasp of it all yet to know if that's what I want to start with. If anyone has any experience with this I'd love to hear about it. :) Thanks!
