Hi, The situation is this: I have to install FreeBSD on 300 dual-boot machines :-) They will all use PS/2 mice (yay (sarcastic)) and this means I have to rebuild the kernel for every one of them. I figure there must be a way to install a pre-configured version of FreeBSD on 300 machines. I thought of the "moving around with an IDE HD" solution but it might take too much time and it'd be too much work too. I then told myself, why not setup a network installation server? I think it is a good idea but I have a few questions: - How should the filetree be organized so that the install floppy can take advantage of my ftp server? - How can I create a pre-config file that I can tell the install proggie to load? - Does anyone know of an even faster way to do that? Thanks a lot, Yves Lepage
