Or, push the kernel (with included initramfs) out via netboot, and after=20 mounting the root filesystem, copy the modules into place. If you have a=20 large number of modules (too big to fit inside the kernel image), push=20 them with rsync (or similar) to the client machines, either from within=20 the initramfs or with an initscript that starts before any others. > You could also put this in an update script on each of the boxes then > use tentakel to run it on some or all of them. tentakel (in portage) is > a handy way of running the same command on a group of machines, and you > can set up named groups and subgroups to make life even easier. Never used tentakel, but IIRC there's another parallel-shell tools=20 available that works over rsh/rlogin/ssh called psh. =2D-=20 Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,=3D ,-_-. =3D.=20 bss03@volumehost.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-'=20 http://iguanasuicide.org/ \_/ =20 New GPG Key!
