Custom Installation


I remember some time ago that a site had information on how to take existing Mandrake installation disks and create your own installation.

This is not the same as choosing Custom from the install menu, but rather create a routine that is exactly the way you want. FOr example, like an automated install. You fill in your own packages, partitions, language preferences, etc.

Unfortunately I lost the site and I am having a hardtime useing keywords to find it through Google. Does anyone know what I am talking about, or have any ideas as to help my search?

Is this what you are refering to ? :

Note

The tiny floppy disk icon at the bottom of the list allows you to load a package list created during a previous installation. This is useful if you have a number of machines that you wish to configure identically. Clicking on this icon will ask you to insert a floppy disk previously created at the end of another installation. See the second tip of last step on how to create such a floppy.
(from doc section of mandrakelinux site)

Although useful, this is not what I was referring to. This is an actual method of altering the instal discs and burning new ones for bootaup and install.

I found it:
This tool allows a system administrator to replicate an installation on many machines while not having to reconfigure all steps by hands for each machine.
Look here:
