This is all very well and find if you're using a single architecture with nearly identical hardware setups. Granted, with discover and read-edid, things are a little easier. When you need extreme customizability in installs, FAI does a very good job. It "feels" like a kludge at times, but once you wrap your head around the process, it's actually pretty easy to follow. For your debconf database, you could always create a quick script to copy over an existing database. Or you could possibly look into hacking on the LDAP backend for debconf. I was intrigued by Progeny's autoinstall Python script, but never had a chance to look into it further. -- Chad Walstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */
