Thanks for the advice given so far, I will have a look at them.=0A=0A@Wojci= ech:=0A=0AYour approach seems too simplistic to me. It might only work unde= r very specific circumstances but is impractical otherwise.=0A=0AConsider, = for example, a network consisting of machines of different types=0A(worksta= tions, web servers, mail servers, ...) with different hardware=0A(different= number of disks, different processor types, ...) and different=0Aconfigura= tion needs (file system, software, access rights, ...). Obviously, =0Ayou c= annot simply dd one system to the other. And if you want to change=0Asome c= onfiguration files on your machines after installation (I do know=0Acfengin= e, by the way) or want to install additional software on some of=0Athem, ar= e you still convinced of your approach? =0A=0AUnix tools are great, but you= r comment looks like an advice to use a swiss army knife for performing a b= ypass surgery ;).=0A=0AMartin=0A=0A=0A
