Hi...
I thought the replication floppy (RF) would be a nice thing to install a
few identical computers, but it doesn't behave at all as I expected. I'm
doing a network expert install, and I thought that booting on the RF
would ask me for an IP, a machine name, and then go on, using the same
partitioning scheme, installing the same packages, and so on...
What it did was just to remember it was an NFS install, keep all the IP
configuration (so I endend up with 2 PCs with the same IP in my LAN,
still don't understand how the install could work), and then ask me to do
again all the partitioning and the choice of packages.
It would be very nice to have a RF keeping at least the list of packages
you've chosen (even if I'm beginning to know well Mandrake's packages, it
still takes me 30m to check/uncheck all these). Is it planned ? What's
the use of the current RF ?
Everything went fine for the install, except some gs rpms, but they have
been updated an hour ago, I'll have to check again. BTW, kde-i18-British
is installed even if you don't select kde.
And this time my Elsa Gloria Synergy was detected, thanx Pixel ;)
Good work :)
