Overview

replicator allow you to non-interactively replicate an existing Debian installation (on the model computer) onto many target computers in a network (cluster, classroom, etc.).

The target can have a different hardware configuration than the model.

repli-miniroot sets up a nfs-root filesystem needed by replicator.

repli-bootdisk creates the installation floppy to boot the target with.

repli-sync synchronises the target with its model (to use after a first complete replication).

repli-update is the core script of replicator. This script is not intended to be run by a user.

The full documentation is in /usr/share/doc/replicator.

Do NOT try to launch any of replicator's script without reading the doc.
