Bill, Hi. While it won't preserve your custom configuration options, 'dpkg --get-selections > FILE' on master computer, then 'dpkg --set-selections < FILE' on slave computers should get you much of the way there. Granted you have to do some base install and disk partitioning yourself, but it's still a big time saver. See 'man dpkg' for more info. Hope this helps and take care, Daniel -- Daniel A.
