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
