Linux installation using image copy

laginagesh · 09-01-2009, 06:10 AM

i have installed linux (RHEL4) in a PC and have to do the same process for 150 PC's of same configuration
If i copy the image of the first PC(which i have installed)hard disk to other PCs ..will it works?
Or I have to install each PC manually?

What is the standard process to do this task.

cheers

It'll work but all of the computers would have the same hostname and IP address ( if you all ready configured it staticly).

Take a look at clonezilla this might be just the thing for you.
