Print out the manual. It takes awhile to setup/configure. I use it to maintain 100 lab machines and 5-10 servers. Works wonderful. I have dhcp reservations for all the machines, so I can just boot off the cd and do a complete automated install. Or I can connect with ssh and do an upgrade from within the image to a newer version of the image. Don't use 3.3 yet, as they appear to still be ironing out bugs. -- --Luke CS Sysadmin, Montana State University-Bozeman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
