some would say to use a dhcp configuration/approach, which would reduce your need to go in and clean up the ethX types of issues.
if you really need to have manual/distinct names/ip addresses that you;re assigning, you're going to have to do some manual work.
you could create a great deal of work, and set up a process, where the cloned box, would 1st use dhcp, and then run some bash script to fetch/install information from a centralized setup, where the information would have the set ip address/server name, and change the appropriate files on the cloned box as required...
have fun!!

Subject: installation build and test process question - warning, it is
dumb.
You guys have offered some great advice, so I am going to ask a dumb
sort of question.
I have a machine with all the peripherals - CD, DVD, Frewire, SATA,
EIDE, SCSI, USB ports,
and multiple ethers. I use this as a build and test machine -
configuring a drive to be installed
in another box. It is not possible to add more than a minimal drive to
the target machines.
When I build a drive, configure the apps, test it, and then install it
in the intended box,
I have to do lots of manual clean up, ethernet device names making them
match mac
addresses in the configs, and so on. I am careful about system names,
ip addresses,
and all that for the application installs.
Is there an easier way to do this? I have tried a few alternatives but
they still
require post install clean up. yeah, I am kind of manually going
through all this,
not quie brute force but close.
thanks for any ideas
bob
