Plz read http://anu.homelinux.net/pub/FreeBSD/tftpboot/README.txt, though it may seem FreeBSD specific on looking at the URL or content, but the document contains equivalent instructions for Linux hosts as well, be it CentOS or whatever. The basic idea is to a) prepare netboot environment/server, b) boot the target machine, c) prepare partitions or filesysystems and then clone wisely over the network (you need not fiddle with the hardware). Hope that helps. -- Balwinder S "bdheeman" Dheeman (http://werc.homelinux.net/contact/) _______________________________________________ Ilugd mailing list [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
