So what happens when the tree-walker-that-is-TAR gets to /mnt?
This is why I was thinking of using DD.
Well, using 'dd' means that source and target will have the same physical layout. What I have done in the past (for a lot less machines though): install machine#0, configure etc. Boot up a rescue system, create tar-copy of the installed system. Put tar-copy on USB or elsewhere where it is easily accessible. for m in machine[123456789] do boot rescue, partition, create filesystem, mount, untar. configure MAC-address. run lilo done -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.7°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
