Are you saying that is the only method we shall support? What if the disks are not the same size? What ifd the machines have been bought over the years and are not identical? What if they have different architectures, and the only common factor is that they have Debian? And what about updates? The machines are not clones of each other, there is different datas on the drives. I still do not want to get spammed by the install process even if I do not use NFS replication. manoj -- We are what we are.
