Hi all,
I have downloaded the 6.2-RELEASE ISO images, (Disk 1, Disk 2, and
Boot Only), and was wondering...
If I use the boot only CD to boot up the new server I am getting,
can I use it to:
FDisk and Disklabel the new HD (SAS),
Yes.
ifconfig the NIC,
Yes.
Setup a network share (as a client),
Depends on what you mean by network share. If by nfs, then in a
limited sense yes. SMB/CIFS, no.
Download DUMPS from an other machine,
No.
RESTORE those dumps,
No.
the aim here is to clone a previous machine. So what I guess I am
asking is, does the boot only machine give us all the working tools
as would a copy installed to the local bood HD?

Not really. For that you need to create your own custom boot CDs.
