Clonezilla SE with CentOS5
Hi all,
I'm looking for a cloning solution for our Windows/Linux/*nix computer park
and ran into Clonezilla. Apparantely the DRBL and other documentation
mentions CentOS as a suitable base for it.
Does anybody on this list use this solution and can say something about it
in the running-Clonezilla-with-CentOS-context, be it recommendations,
gotchas', warnings or whatever?
Thanks.

Read only nfsroot and diskless booting CentOS 6?
Does anyone have any good how-to's or documentation on setting up read only root NFS for pxe booting diskless computers? A few months ago I stumbled upon an official Redhat doc through a google search(not hosted by redhat and I cannot find it anywhere on the Redhat site) written by Dave Kline named "Configuring diskless clients with Red Hat Enterprise Linux" from 2011. It seemed to

centos Installation on Multiple machines
Hi,
I want to install customized centos on multiple systems. Can PXE boot do
that ?
Apart from this is there any other way of doing image copy of centos OS
and installing it on several client machines through network. I used
clonezilla, but after image cloning, i will again have to use the
clonezilla LIVE CD on client machine to do a image restore.
I want to make a clone of centos OS and

[OT] PXE Boot / image server for non-profit's computers
This is the best collection of minds I can think of on this topic, that's why it
is on this list. I think it is too subjective for stackoverflow.
So here is the problem:
The community center has multiple computers for the children (and adult
students) to use. These computer are always donated and the hardware is all
different. Currently the systems are running Windows (but this may change).

Question about dd (fill a hard disks' unused space with blanks)
Hi,
I'm currently experimenting with G4U (Ghost for Unix), a small cloning
application sending disk images to an FTP server.
The application reads the whole disk bit by bit, compresses it and then
stores it remotely. Due to this approach, it's more or less
filesystem-independent. The drawback is that it sometimes results in
huge image files.
Now I'm currently following a hint

** Newbie - HELP **
Using VM's was a suggestion I put forward but some of our staff didn't like the idea!
We can't virtualise Windows as we run many CAD and Media app's that require high end graphics card utilisation.
The Linux image is mainly used for coding type activities and so virtualising that would seem sensible - unfortunately that is not my call..

Mass installs of desktop systems on identical machines
Hi,
I'm running a small Linux consulting business here in a group of small
villages in the South of France (http://www.microlinux.fr). I'm using
CentOS for everything, servers as well as desktops. The desktop installs
are usually highly customized. My approach is to list the client's
needs, find the corresponding applications and then install these, to
avoid the bloat and

Three Identical systems - short cut to setting up the drives?
I am building three identical systems. Well they will have different
host names, and with time the software setups will drift. But at
install time they are identical.
Is there some way, (with dd I might guess) to do a hardare level copy?
All three drives are Hitachi DK23DA-40F (40Gb). Supposedly factory

Copying CentOS to new drive
I recently asked about copying a running system to a new drive.
As a postscript, I'm wondering if it would have been preferable
to run the machine under a Live OS, and simply copy the root partition
to the new drive?
Eg while running under the LiveOS,
# mkdir /mnt/old /mnt/new
# mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/old
# mount /dev/sdb6 /mnt/new
# cp -avx /mnt/old /mnt/new
or
# rsync -ax

best practice: how to setup a central "network installation server"?
Hi,
I want to setup a central installation server, but haven't done this before,
so I want to find out what would be best practices for this?
The server I have already runs as a central repo, which is updated from one
or our local centos mirrors, and the other CentOS servers (both i386 & x64),
as well as CentOS VPS's get their updates from this server.
But, now I want to allow a

Gene,
As it happened I started working on this again just as you mailed me.
It appears that PXE-E99 may also be related to MTFTP part of the PXE spec. IBM also says it has something to do with jumbo frames. I tried setting PXE.mtcp-ip to 0.0.0.0 to disable it but still no joy.
The bootfile size shows up as zero because that relates to "option boot-size" in dhcp and doesn't seem to

managing a rack full of centos servers
to date, I've done all my administration on a manual 1 at a time basis,
as each system has been pretty much unique.
its looking like I might need to setup a deployment of a dozen or 2
basically identical machines, all running pretty much the same sorts of
stuff. I have zero experience with the sorts of management tools folks
use to automate this type of configuration, both initial setup,
