Re: Installing FreeBSD on multy hosts
Another idea is to make one installation and make an image of it. With clonezilla it will be able to use pxe to install it on many hosts. http://clonezilla.org/ After you install your image, you must, how Wojciech Puchar told you, change ip (or you use dhcp), hostname and other stuff like this. I've not tested clonezilla, but at work i use acronis trueimage to install windows on clients. why don't simply use unix tools. for same-sized harddrives simply use dd ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: Installing FreeBSD on multy hosts
Well - and if need just to power on server and say it to boot at PXE and go away for 30 min. And then I came back - I have a typical preconfigured server. I need full automatisation. so make simple PXE bootable system and write script to make disklabels, do newfs, install (copy/untar) your system, fix rc.conf and make disk bootable ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: Installing FreeBSD on multy hosts
I search some guides - how to install FreeBSD on 10+ hosts at once. As I understand right - it is some thing about PXE and some install.cfg. no. just make PXE able to boot ANY FreeBSD install (single user is enough, or boot from CD/DVD) and then copy all files from one host to another. then just change configs (like hostname and IP in your rc.conf) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
