RE: Installing five identical systems...

	I'd love something like this also. I have to build
	RH systems on a regular basis and I'd love to be able
	to use a consistant copy with all the updates applied.
	Windows folks have something like this with things like
	Norton Ghost.

	I have started looking into the Kickstart portion
	of RH but only briefly so far. (too busy building
	systems!)

Subject: Installing five identical systems...


	I am about to install RedHat Linux together with Digital Unix
on five identical DP264 machines. Now I have done setup on one machine, and 
am wondering if there is any tool that can just "duplicate" the existing
partition/data on the current system disk to the rest four new disks so as 
to prevent from re-installation "from scratch". This way I can just plug the
copied system disk into another machine, boot from it and change the 
configurations since the hardware setting on these five machines are all the
same. 

	I believe such tools exist, or how can those system vendors bear
doing the same job for one hundred times to install the 128-node cluster?

	I am really appreciated for your help.
