Hi, > > Not sure why you needed to exclude /dev, generally I include it. I can't remenber the exact error, but it resulted in a kernel panic.
I think some files are good to copy onto the new base installation, but less files should be copied onto a production server. I'm trying to see how to do a quick new install from a master copy, and then use the master copy to push maintenance updates to production servers. new-install.exclude ***************************** /boot /vmlinuz /initrd.img /lib/modules /etc/fstab /etc/mtab /etc/mdadm /etc/rsync /etc/hostname /etc/ssh/ssh_host_* /etc/ssl /var/tmp /var/log /var/run /var/lock /mount /media /proc /tmp /dev /usr/src /home ***************************** push-update.exclude ***************************** /etc/hosts /etc/resolve.conf /etc/dhcpd.conf /etc/firewall /etc/network /etc/passwd* /etc/shadow* /etc/group* /var/spool /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf /boot /vmlinuz /initrd.img /lib/modules /etc/fstab /etc/mtab /etc/mdadm /etc/rsync /etc/hostname /etc/ssh/ssh_host_* /etc/ssl /var/tmp /var/log /var/run /var/lock /mount /media /proc /tmp /dev /usr/src /home ***************************** This morning I added ltsp sound to the master server and pushed the update to a client server. It worked. Following this idea, apt-get should never be used on the client server. I do feel however that i'm going to run into problems. I installed freeNX server on the master server, and pushed the copy to the client server. Bad. nxserver had touched many different files and it didn't work. This adds complexity to the invention (something to avoid). Any ideas? Chris.
