setup script?



Hello all.
It is my intention to set up a lab of PCs here at my college to dual-boot
Debian and NT. I have some questions related to setting up Debian on all
these machines, in such a way that they are all identical.

My basic strategy at the moment is to configure a `prototype' machine first,
with the desired NIS/NFS setup, X, network support, KDE etc. Then I want to
make a mirror image of this hard drive and copy it onto other machines using
some third-party commercial software from PowerQuest or Quarterdeck.
(Aside: Can I do this any other way with open software?)

For this to work, I have to configure this prototype machine in such a way
that it doesn't know its own IP address when it's booting, and has to be
told what it is. I know this is possible, I'm just not sure how to do it.

regards,
vinny
