Is there a way I can make a boot floppy that will set up the disk, set up the DNS, gateway, etc., and the install only the packages I want from a list (rather than having to select them all by hand)? I can't really make a "master hard drive" and use dd to duplicate it since I don't have the extra hardware to spare for that - but I do have a large fs exported via NFS that I can use. Any ideas?? ========================================================================== Jeffrey Lynn Jeffries, jeffries@unt.edu http://www.cs.unt.edu/~jeffries Proud user of FreeBSD: Ask me how to unleash the daemon inside your PC To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
