I'm interested in how to specify a release and a bunch of packages, and squirt it to multiple machines. Or perhaps I'd like to spec the current binary contents of my machine (sans config files) so I could rebuild it from scratch later, without backups, or perhaps install another machine with my current set of packages, but 7.x instead of 6.2, etc. Permutations on this theme seem endless, and don't appear to be focused on in the handbook. Also interested in installing to a spare disk in my system, then putting said disk in another system. I always get errors after label'ing when I try it, presumably because I already have a filesystem mounted as root, and it trys to mount the new one as root to copy onto... Steve
