True, true. This can be bypassed by a simple setup thingy on MS but yes with FreeBSD this would be not as easy. You could experiment with some kind of distribution server for these files that need user intervention for correct configuration of ip etc. Probably an easier solution out there. I stand corrected.. :) PeTe > -----Opprinnelig melding----- > Fra: Andrew ARENSBurger [mailto:arensb@cfar.umd.edu] > Sendt: 9. januar 2001 19:51 > Til: Per Tore Larsen > Kopi: 'jheath@istrength.net'; 'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org' > Emne: Re: SV: Mass install automation > > > On Tue, 9 Jan 2001, Per Tore Larsen wrote: > > Using Norton Ghost to make an image of the harddrive > > on an installed reference Freebsd box. > > Then setup an Ghost server on an Windows machine. > > Create boot disk. > > The install should take it from there. > > The main issue I can think of with this is that since Ghost is > OS-independent, that means that it can't deal with OS-specific stuff. > If you set up a machine the way you want, then use Ghost to make > 50-100 copies of it, they'll all be absolutely identical: if > you set the > hostname in /etc/rc.conf, the'll all have the same hostname etc. > I think you can get away with this if you use DHCP.
