Re: new installation from /var/cache/apt/archives
hi,
Do you know, how can i install ten machines with the same installed
softwares? I have installed one, did run tasksel for install the
software, and the machine is ready! then, i did use the same iso that i
had created and did install i new one over the network. I wanna use the
same config file that tasksel created in another machine. This for I
don't have run tasksel in every machine. Do exist that config file?
1- i install one machine.
2- i install all softwares that i want.
3- i install another machine
4- i copy the config file with the informations about software that i
want.
5- i run some command (apt-get, dpkg, or another) and the softwares are
installed.
6- i have two machines with the same configuration.
thanks.
