In an ideal world I want to be able to make a couple or more of these sticks and give them to the clients IT staff - or at least the ones enthusiastic about Linux/Suse in the future - with a set of idiot poof instructions. Hopefully that way the "hundred or so" that the manager talks about can be accomplished in a few hours. Then we're down to the step-and-repeat of testing. Of course no-one is going to test a machine he did the install on :-0
I do exactly this. I build my images with kiwi. There you select what you want installed, and it makes many image types. The one you want is called OEM. It makes an image that is dd's to the disk, via either a bootable USB, DVD or via PXE. kiwi makes the entire thing - including the bootable GUI that does the DD. You can have as much set up as you would like. We use this so we can do identical installs on many machines, many of which do not have internet access.
Thanks, Robert; I'm glad I wasn't 'just dreaming'. I'll follow up off list. -- It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that some portion of the neglect of science in England, may be attributed to the system of education we pursue. -- Charles Babbage -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
