I've posted a question like that a few weeks ago. I currently work on the PingOO ver. 2 (http://www.linuxedu.org). Its aim is to make a automated distribution for communication server in educational environnement and now in several public organization. In Redhat (...sorry) there is kickstart for making automatically install. For Debian, I think it's currently in developpment. This is the method I have done : I use a configuration file that is called by the scripts of the package I have modified. So, when the package is done, you just have to make some apt-get install and it's all ! But, the problem is that I have to re-make some packages (essentially network packages). So, it's to be continued... ps : Is it possible to automatized the fdisk for size of partitions ? Thanks. Good continuation ! ------------ Fabien SALVI Centre de Ressources Informatiques Centre Universitaire et de Recherche 74166 Archamps http://www.cri.cur-archamps.fr
