For Linux, I prefer using a kickstart script and doing a reinstallation each time. If you have a local mirror, this can often be much faster copying over an image bit-by-bit, but the real benefit of it is being able to easily upgrade to a newer version and/or make configuration changes. Having a script that installs and configures a system is much more reliable than trying to remember what you did 6 months ago. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868 /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
