Hello, I've been using FreeBSD for a while - and I prefer it to all other server OS'es, but incidentally I have Fedora Core 3 installed on one of the servers I manage. I consulted all interested parties and they have nothing against migrating it to FreeBSD. I've got physical access to the box, but I'd would like it very much to make a headless upgrade.
It's a single-Opteron box with around 130Gb on a 200Gb SATA hard drive, the internet bandwidth is about 20Mbit/s. In fact, I've already tried to run FreeBSD-5.3 on this very box - without any problem. There is no DHCP/DNS on the network it's connected to, so static preconfigured IP-address is a must, as well as a pre-configured BIND (or at least resolv.conf with one of my external DNS-servers). I'm thinking about creating a large hard-drive image (with FreeBSD) and somehow writing it on the hard-drive with an in-memory dd-like tool. Can anybody suggest a better way? Maybe I could even save some data without backing it all up on another server? Thanks, Andrew P. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
