Hello Elisabeth, did you get any feedback yet? I'm also trying to find some automatic installation routines e.g. alice. I would wonder if alice can be used to install SUSE Linux PPC systems ?

I want to install Linux on a couple of Sun Netras. It would be much easier and safer to use an automated installation. The installation has to be done with tftpboot as there are no CD drives. I already have installed a single Netra as prototype. My questions now are: a) Has anybody already used alice for Sparcs at all (e.g. with CD-ROM boot)? b) Can anybody give some hints on creating an image for tftpd using tilo? c) Is it easy to change the make_inst_cd script to a "make_inst_tftpimage"- script? Has anybody done this before?
