we've used 3 different ways: a program called systemimager (works great, but |
| 10 |
is made for redhat and getting it to work on gentoo was fairly non-trivial) |
| 11 |
what i call a "stage 4", install the system, then make a tarball of the whole |
| 12 |
thing (requires a storage medium that can store huge files) |
| 13 |
partimage (stores each partition as a file) also requires a storage system |
| 14 |
that can take > 2gb files |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
of those, the systemimager is the only one you can really do a pxeboot and |
| 17 |
install from. but as I said, it requires some work and an infrastructure |
| 18 |
(including an image server and dhchp server you control) |
