This method sounds crazy, but it can work, and might be the most efficient way of doing it for 30 machines, assuming that the machines have identical hardware: same network card, same video controller, same sound card, etc. 1. Install Linux on the machine with CD drive, configure X, networking, sound, etc. until everythings works perfectly. 2. Do a disk copy, dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb bs=1k to copy the new installation to each hard disk of the 29 other machines. You need to remove each hard disk and cable it as the second drive on the original machine. 3. Put back the hard disks into the 29 machines, boot each machine and do a netconfig on each one to change the IP address. PMana _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
