I can give that a try. My concern is that I will miss some subtle thing resulting from the significant difference between the machine I use to build the system and the target machine. Perhaps another direction. To your knowledge is there some install script that I can tailor for the target machine? I would make a HDD that looks like a CD and have it boot and install without intervention. Any thoughts?

With the HD in a machine that does have a keyboard and display, install a minimal installation -- just enough to boot to runlevel 3 and access the network. If you have dhcp available, that would probably make things easier. Once you have a working installation on the HD, move the HD to the other machine, let it boot and then ssh in to a terminal session. From there you should be able to optimize the installation to suit your needs, using network-aware tools (up2date/yum/apt/whatever) to install new packages as required. -- -John (john@xxxxxxxxxxx) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
