Hi Martin We had some results doing this , but it is actually much more time consuming than installing and configuring the servers individually. What would be really useful is (a) some way of automatic this or (b) the ability to export the XS configuration especially the Moodle settings.

Do NOT use this technique for "cloning a base install". Use kickstart/anaconda methods to automate many-machine rollouts. cheers, martin On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 6:22 AM, David Leeming <da...@leeming-consulting.com> wrote: > Are there any recommended ways of cloning an XS installation?
