But then you have to do updates to each new copy and add all of your own setup. With an image or file based copy you get a copy will all changes after the install intact. The ultimate method is to build your own rpm repository, add all of your own programs and config changes packaged as rpms. Then you can do a kickstart install against that and get a current version and update any older installations against it with yum, apt-get, or up2date. -- Les Mikesell les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
