Customized/automated FreeBSD Installations....

[Forrest Aldrich]

I've been Googling for some information on this (and the Handbook).

We have a scenario whereby we'll be building (over time) several 
mostly-identical systems.   There are similar tasks that will need to be 
performed on those systems (copying over accounts, passwords, 
homedirectories), and certain *.conf changes, etc.   There has to be a 
decent way to accomplish this, other than manually per-system or having 
to build a make-release with some customizations.

I have seen GNU CFEngine, but it seems like overkill.

I'd appreciate some recommendations/pointers.

Thanks!
