You could use freebsd livecd (http://livecd.sourceforge.net/) for multiple= =20 installations. I don't know what kickstart is, but livecd lets you build an= =20 installation cd from an existing installation, and replicate it on other=20 machines. 24 May 2005 14:25:16 -0400, Lowell Gilbert < freebsd-questions-local@be-well.ilk.org>: >=20 > Ewald Jenisch <a@jenisch.at> writes: >=20 > > I'd like to install 5.4 on several machines.
