Re: [expert] Automatic installation of MANY machines?
do an automatic installation, only prompting say for IP address etc? RedHat used to have something called a "kickstart" or something as I recall, with a script you could use. Does Mandrake have this? I need to install about 15 machines all identical, but with different IP addrs etc. If you do an expert install you'll be asked if you want to make a setup disk towards the end of the install. This is not the bootdisk but rather a disk that automates subsequent installations. Cheers --- Larry Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

I saw that too, and made one. But for the life of me, I can't find any instructions anywhere on how to use it?
