Clone installations


Hello all, I'm currenly trying to install the "dumbest" linux distro I can for a desktop enviroment that all it does is web browser. Just like a computer you'd find at a library or free internet coffee house. What I have is about 10 Pentium-100 with 32MB and 1GB HDDs and a NIC. Not much to them, oh yeah, and such old CD-ROM drives they don't boot with CD-Rs or RWs. I'll probally take a newer CD-ROM drive with me to try and put a linux distro on them, but what I really want is an install image from the first one I setup to be transfered to the others however possible. Something like the sysprep command for MS windows. Once the first is done I could maybe use Norton Ghost to install a HDD image to the others (I'm only assuming this, someone let me know if the is wrong). I know Redhat has the kickstart file that I think does about the same thing (tells it what install settings and packages to use instead of stripping the drivers and SIDs from an installed system like windows), but is this possible with SuSE? I would prefer to use SuSE 9.0/1 since it is my favorite but I've got RedHat 9 and Mandrake 9.1 as well, so if either of them have an easier and faster way of cloning installs, please let me know.
