Hello, I want to create a turnkey/customized boot floppy so that ANY ONE can install FreeBSD by just inserting the floppy and the CDROM, without answering any questions. With the existing installation, one still has to make a few choices. My goal is to FULLY automate the installation with preset values (e.g. partition names, etc.) This fully automated process would: 1) save time if I have to install a large number of machines. 2) this would serve as part of a "recovery toolkit" in case of hardware failure. Any pointers on where I should start? I know I need to (or may be not?) hack under /usr/src/release/ Any hints on where I should look if I want to store preset values, e.g. partition name/sizes etc. Should I hack the source or is there a easier way? How about writing a keystroke macro? TIA for any ideas. ----- FreeBSD4ME To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
