[was: Fedora vs. RHL] Quote: Kickstart should work just fine. If you are using Symantec Ghost or similar software, just make an image of an installed system, and after copying the image onto the new system, just run redhat-config-network to set computername and IP-address. You can even include all user profiles, no hassle with that SID... I'm not sure if Ghost gets along with Linux partitions, I just use dd. End Quote: Martin, Thanks for the reply. I have been toying around with Kickstart. I will do more serious experimenting with it when I learn how to set the file server up properly. What I have seen does help. I hope that when I create one it will at least mostly work for newer releases as well. That will make it most valuable. I use Ghost on my Windows systems but I have Drive Image 4.0 as well. It might pick up the Linux partitions if Ghost doesn't. Whether or not Ghost and Drive Image work, I plan to learn how to use the backup utility to assist in quick setups and to protect systems. There is nothing more embarrassing than telling the boss his backup failed. What is DD? You said no trouble with the SID. I know SID is in Windows, are you saying it isn't in Linux or that the config corrects it.
