I need to do an install on 12 identical computers. Once I have done the install on one of them, is there a simple way to duplicate the drive to the next computer.
I do not have access to Ghost, any suggestion?
network install + kickstart.
Or for a low-tech solution, if the disks are identical, boot rescue mode from CD and
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
Where sda is the whole disk of an already installed system and sdb is a blank disk.
If they're HP Proliants or similar you can use their hot-swap mirroring to mirror disks even quicker than dd.
