hardware it gets attached to.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12px">I’ve got several Dell 2950s with RHEL4AS. Our client
wants us to clone the OS from one machine onto all the others such that all
systems are “identical” from an OS perspective. Can someone give me a
general outline of steps to take that will result in multiple identical
machines while avoiding some of the “gotchas” like overwriting the
/etc/fstab file. Etc? Obviously, I found that one first hand. In
advance, thank you.<BR>Jerry</SPAN></FONT>
