Freebies - I have an installation I'm comfortable with, between those ports I chose to install, those I chose _not_ to install, and those I went around and added individually. Now I want to install the same set in a number of other systems. I know I can get a list of installed options with 'pkg_info', but I don't know how to make the best use of the list. The machines have 3.5" diskettes, _just_sufficient_ hard drives, netowrk interface cards, and no CD-ROMs. They hang on a LAN served with DHCP. I would like to avoid doing manual selection each time, of course. I would prefer to do independent passive-FTP installations from a FreeBSD.org server for each target machine rather than a disk-slice copy because I wouldn't have to remove the drives from the computers. What are my options, and your recommendations? TIA. - John Mills john.m.mills@alum.mit.edu
