The project for today: a Solaris JumpStart installation.
To get started, Here are Sun's Blueprints. Especially interesting is the article on Customizing the JumpStart[tm] Boot Image Recovery. We need that for our new NetBackup recovery procedure. Also of specific interest to me is the Building a Bootable JumpStart[tm] Installation CD-ROM since we don't have enough machines to justify a dedicates JumpStart server.
A Google search turns up more information, of course.
After finishing the basics, it would be awesome to have Implement an LDAP-based scheme for Solaris installations.
Ahh... The joys of an old IBM 486. I'm putting one together so that I can test the installation/conversion process I have for everybody.org. When I climbed up in the attic I came across some old VGA monitors as well. Those'll come in handy for watching what is going on and in the rare case that I'll need to log into the console on the machines.
I have too much hardware lying around. I had told Alexis I would sell the NeXT to make up for some of the cost of some upgrades. It wouldn't be that much, so she suggested setting it up for the kids to bang on. They'll have their own 'net connection and the only laser printer. Time to get some RAM for that baby.
