With the rapid increase in enterprise adoption of Linux, automation of deployment becomes very important. In most cases, the configuration of the individual applications and the look and feel also need customization.

8. Your ethernet configuration is located in a file called /etc/network/interfaces. gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces Append the following configuration: auto eth0:0 iface eth0:0 inet static name Ethernet alias LAN card address 192.168.1.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 network 192.168.1.0 Save the file and restart system or restart the network: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

9. Add the repositories for DRBL by editing the /etc/apt/sources.list file sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and insert the following 2 lines at the bottom deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main restricted universe multiverse # deb http://drbl.sourceforge.net/drbl-core drbl stable Next you need to grab the keys...use the following commands sudo wget http://drbl.sourceforge.net/GPG-KEY-DRBL sudo apt-key add GPG-KEY-DRBL Now let's update and install sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install drbl Now it's time to run the setup program! This is an interactive set up script. After running this (and YES...it MUST be connect to the internet to work as it will use "apt-get" to download more packages) sudo /opt/drbl/sbin/drblsrv -i Afterwards, you'll need to run this command (also from the server) sudo /opt/drbl/sbin/drblpush -i This will walk you through setting up the diskless boot for your clients...especially for Clonezilla.

27. Run /opt/drbl/sbin/dcs on the Ubuntu server and select All Select all clients Clonezilla Stopped
