Just a quick note to thank everyone for all the suggestions.

I was looking for something as automatic as possible (boot a flopy.. clone=
=20
disk adjusting partition sizes.. done).  We are an ISP and regularly set up=
=20
FreeBSD boxes for customers that need a mail server/inet gateway, and throw=
=20
in webmail, email virus scanning, webmin, the works.

Up until now we've been manually installing (and updating) these boxes one=
=20
by one and it's getting kinda tedious to say the least.  Plus there's just=
=20
a couple of us here that can do the installs, so it would be great to have=
=20
something that anybody can use to clone the latest -STABLE install with all=
=20
the goodies.

I'm looking into g4u and maybe growfs as the simplest choice out there.

Again, thanks for all the suggestions

-Adrian
