Use clonezilla as an alternate to norton ghost. Disk cloning is not perfect -- it installs the same hostname, IP address, ssh keys, /etc/host file, etc. You'll then have to change these bits on each machine individually. The ideal way is to pxe boot and do a automated installation over the network. A web search for "ubuntu automated install" or "unbuntu unattended install" will lead you to: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-unattended-ubuntu-network-install This takes some setup to get it right and you'll need a lot of patience, but once configured you can rapidly install any number of machines by simply booting it from the network. - Raja _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
