Just a quick note to thank everyone for all the suggestions. I was looking for something as automatic as possible (boot a flopy.. clone disk adjusting partition sizes.. done). We are an ISP and regularly set up FreeBSD boxes for customers that need a mail server/inet gateway, and throw in webmail, email virus scanning, webmin, the works. Up until now we've been manually installing (and updating) these boxes one by one and it's getting kinda tedious to say the least. Plus there's just a couple of us here that can do the installs, so it would be great to have something that anybody can use to clone the latest -STABLE install with all the goodies. I'm looking into g4u and maybe growfs as the simplest choice out there. Again, thanks for all the suggestions -Adrian At 09:33 AM 2/20/2003 +0530, Aravind Balasubramanian wrote: >Pierre-Luc Lespérance wrote: >>Adrian Gonzalez wrote: >> >>> >>>Is there anything out there that resembles Symantec Ghost but works with >>>FreeBSD partitions? >>> >>>Basically I want to be able to transfer a FreeBSD installation from an >>>old hard drive to a new one without having to reinstall, reconfigure, etc. > >Ghost for unix is what you are looking for. > >http://rfhs8012.fh-regensburg.de/~feyrer/g4u/ > >Try and tell us ur experience > >Regards > >Aravind Balasubramanian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
