I can see the necessity for the above - I frequently get requests to setup small networks and turn them down because of time/$ ratio - contracting 9-5 in a Megacorp is easier :-) The only *Australian* part of above is "call *designated-support-firm*, etc" - for this I would go with Alex Samad's suggestion of a meta deb, + allow *designated-support-firm* to customize a conf file with details and ssh keys to produce a live CD. -- Sonia Hamilton http://SoniaHamilton.wordpress.com -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
