The graphics and some packages in RHEL are not open source. So to install it on multiple servers you would need to exclude these things. It is not possible to do this without rebuilding the cd's from scratch. If someone does have 15,000 machines though there are substantial savings available and they should make a point to contact Red Hat sales. Actually you should contact RH sales if you have more than 80 or so. RH isn't trying to rip anyone off. The support costs on those first RHEL licenses are always higher. The more machines someone maintains the less they will need to support. -Chris "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
