Hi,

I'm new to FreeBSD, but not new to 44BSD.  I wondered if perhaps someone
may have devised a way to do preconfigured network installs... similar to
what you might do with Solaris.  For example, if you have certain tools and
modifications you make on EVERY machine you install, you can do this once
on a server and then have your clients install from that distribution.
It's very handy, but presents problems when you upgrade to a newer
snapshot.  You have to ensure that some configs are preserved (like
syslog.conf or whatever there may be).

I'm interested in any info you might have regarding this.

Thanks alot!

Forrest
