I have written a set of bash scripts to automate doing a
fresh installation of Centos 5.5 They were originally
written for Fedora 12, and have just finished doing a clean
installation run using them to install Centos 5.5 on my
laptop.
I went from F8 to F12 with these scripts, with no real
problems.
Anybody interested in a copy of them - they will be BSD or
similar license ?
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts
