Hi Junzo: mkautoinstalldiskette is deprecated because the kernel/ramdisk is too big to fit on a floppy disk. mkautoinstallcd is renamed to si_mkautoinstallcd (in fact most SystemImager commands, if not all all) are prefixed with si_. You need to create the autoinstallscript (with si_mkautoinstallscript) regardless of what method you want to boot your client nodes. The script tells the node what to do when it boots up, eg. partition disk, grab files, setup network, etc. Cheers, Bernard

Hi Bernard, Thank you for your input. Now I reached a at point that I gathered the Golden Client images at a SI server. # si_getimage # si_addclients In the manual, it describes a few commands to install the golden image on other machines, such as mkautoinstalldiskette and mkautoinstallcd. But I can not find them. What command should I use, si_mkautoinstallscript ? I have DHCP in LAN. Thank you in advance. /Junzo ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bernard Li" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, July 29, 2006 2:15 AM Subject: Re: [Sisuite-users] Manual update ? very basi questions. >> I'm installing SystemImager 3.6.3 with rpm modules. >> I read the manual.
