I'd like to install SuSE 7.1 on a couple of machines and need a effectively method. To my knowledge, Mandrake provides a replication floppy creation option in the end of the normal installation. How is it possible on SuSE 7.1? Idealy, the replication floppy or bootable CD should keep all the packages configuration and disk partitioning so that the user need to do the least of configuration.

There is an option to save all your package selections to a floppy during installation, however I don't think this is exactly what you want here. What you may be looking for is the program called 'ALICE', which is the replication type program that SuSE recommends (I don't know if they are the authors, but I wouldn't be surprised). I've never used it myself, but there are some instructions in the handbook and there should be manpages, etc. Hope that helps, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
