Cloning The Master Installation; Personalizing The Installation - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 10 SP2 - INSTALLATION AND ADMINISTRATION Installation Manual

6.3 Cloning the Master Installation

Clone the master machine's disk using any of the imaging mechanisms available to you
and roll these images out to the target machines.

6.4 Personalizing the Installation

As soon as the cloned disk image is booted, firstboot starts and the installation proceeds
exactly as laid out in Section 6.2.4, "Customizing the Workflow" (page 107). Only the
components included in the firstboot workflow configuration are started. Any other
installation steps are skipped. The end user adjusts language, keyboard, network, and
password settings to personalize the workstation. Once this process is finished, a firstboot
installed system behaves as any other instance of SUSE Linux Enterprise.
