# replicator(8)

non interactive Debian installer

## NAME

REPLICATOR - non interactive Debian installer

## SYNOPSIS

**repli-miniroot**

**repli-bootdisk**

**repli-sync**

**repli-update**

## DESCRIPTION

**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.
