Can anyone tell me whether (and possibly how) the following can be achieved using kickstart: Have one master system with all packages and patches installed. Boot a new client with empty disks diskless with a DHCP boot floppy first, then klone the master system and apply necessary post-install changes like IP addresses, ssh hostkeys and other things that have to be individual for each host. (actually these individual changes have to be provided in the diskless setup already). -- Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
