Curently I am using one imaging software for this. But it takes long time to copy block by block. jtd wrote: > connect two drives in a linux machine dd if=<your master drive> > of=<your slave drive>. > next put the newly cloned slave as master in another machine aand add > yet another slave drive. I think same problem will come in this also. It will take much time for block by block copy. Because of this, I thought that it will be better if I can put kernel direclty into installation CD/DVD by following way: 1. Making an ISO of installation DVD. 2. Mount that ISO on one directory. by using "mount -o loop..." 3. Replace the kernel image which will be in for of RPM. 4. I think then I may need to change some xml files or something like that. 5. And reburn that ISO on DVD. But here I dont know how to replace that kernel and which files need to change so that while installing Yast or in Fedora Anaconda will use new kernel RPM. Please help Neelesh -- Regards NeeleshG LINUX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity

Can this help you? http://www.mondorescue.org/ You can take a snapshot of your newly installed and customized system on a DVD. Then restore it on other systems. Make sure that system parameters like hostname, IP etc. are changed before bringing those systems on network. Raghu

Slow USB Transfers
by Amit Joshi 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

I am using Gentoo Linux with 2.6.21-suspend2-r7 kernel. I don't know if I have missed out on some part in kernel compilation, but all USB Transfers seem to be pretty slow. I get an average speed of around 2MBPs and after a while the transfer stalls completely. Not to mention the USB version is 2.0 and the Flash Drives are working very well on Windows. I don't know if this is an issue with Linux in general. Regards, Amit.

MTNL Triband Query
by Aman Mathur 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Hello, Im using MTNL's Triband service for accessing the Internet at home . I have never requested a static ip address from MTNL, however whenever im connected to the Internet, I see that my ip address is constant , something like 192.168.1.x , where x is the same all the time.I am new to networking and stuff so please excuse me if my questions sound a bit noobish :) Ok,so i have the following two questions : 1) Is this ip address of mine a static ip address ?. If not , then why does it stay the same all the time ? 2) If I want to host my website on my computer which anyone on the internet can access, how do i go about it ? . I have some basic idea of port forwarding and read some of the tutes on www.portforward.com, which were really informative, but im still not sure how i can host a website on my computer which anyone can access. Thanks a lot :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

How to put customized kernel in installation CD/DVD ?
by Neelesh Gurjar 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Hi, I have 40 servers to install OpenSuse10.2. All have same hardware configuration. I have installed OpenSuse on one of the server and I have customized the kernel as per my requirement. Now if I install OpenSuse as it is on other servers I have to customize kernel on all servers after installation. Can I put my customized kernel into Installation CD/DVD itself ? So that when I will install that New OpenSuse, by default it will install customized kernel. Please help. -- Regards NeeleshG LINUX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity
