Even still, I hope the small companies are able to reproduce their install should the system they are using fail. We write out /root/anaconda-ks.cfg for this purpose and with some modifications on the part of the admin, you can have a kickstart file that will reproduce the set up that probably took you days to arrive at. But that's just me. I do this for my systems for my own disaster recovery purposes. It's really pretty simple and not weird and scary complicated like people want to think it is. -- David Cantrell <dcantrell@xxxxxxxxxx> Supervisor, Installer Engineering Team Red Hat, Inc. | Westford, MA | EST5EDT -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
