Not sure if NG is any faster than doing it the dd way. Either way, you may have to dedicate a couple of systems /dev/sda is the master image, /dev/sd[b-...] are the disks to be cloned. Boot using a LiveCD/USB image and use dd, tar, cpio. > Could you suggest me an OpenSource software for doing this. dd if=imagefile of=/dev/sd[ ...] tar/cpio, Clonezilla. > It will be very helpful if you suggests how to install Linux for 50 > PCs in a day.

Assuming the min. i.e. 50 machines, why isn't HP willing to do this activity for you? You can give them the master image and they can clone that disk on their super fast disk cloning appliances. In your place I would have negotiated with the vendor and awarded the contract to whoever was willing to do this for me. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ 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
