To: freebsd-questions@freefall.FreeBSD.org (freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com) Date: Mon, 18 Sep 95 9:46:21 EST Mailer: Elm [revision: 70.85] Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hi, Just wonder has anyone out there experimented having a 2.X box serving as the boot server for all versions of FreeBSD such as 1.1.5.1, 2.0R and 2.05R ? I am planning to have such a dedicated server to server different `clusters' of different versions of FreeBSD running in parallel without having to install a new system on each of them, and the most important thing to preserve the actively used 1.1.5.1 system, 2.05 and the future 2.1 and other 2.* systems. Ideally, each of the workstations will either be swapping to the boot server, or swap to a local disk depending on their roles. Please give me some advice on this. Thanks in advance. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2i iQCVAwUBMFyzR0mThh0X7Um5AQGEhgQAlcB1nRXA56Sg5VWNoe9gP8yaHDYgn1Lh 3iG5L5WklAm5Um1C6msUkWS4kZCaLhknr/wyiQyRZO+yvYImLrPccb8JTgdkvPZq 5hsEFdlIhjbiQdJxOOf3hUhEnAq2LbcQdPfm2Ysg8irxBqU1sUwqJ/bc+pri8Ms2 8e0pn5D5Vv4= =SUeU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
