First, you run si_prepareclient on the golden client. then on the image server, si_getimage. This pulls the image from the client to the image server, and creates the autoinstall script. then si_addclient on the image server will set up the dhcp and hosts tables for those clients....how are you planning to boot the new boxes? I've only done pxeboots, but I guess the next step could be si_mkautoinstallcd to make an iso image to boot the clients with. I've attached an openoffice doc I wrote up on the process I use...but again, that's with pxeboot, and assuming an already working image server who's also the dhcp/tftp server. > I would appreciate an early response > Thanks > > Jide > > > > __________________________________ > Yahoo!
