Subject: Auto-Installation with alice

    Hi all,

    Has anybody experiences with automated installation of SuSE linux
    on Sparc systems using alice?

    I want to install Linux on a couple of Sun Netras. It would be much easier
    and safer to use an automated installation. The installation has to be done
    with tftpboot as there are no CD drives. I already have
    installed a single Netra as prototype. My questions now are:

    a) Has anybody already used alice for Sparcs at all (e.g. with CD-ROM boot)?

    b) Can anybody give some hints on creating an image for tftpd using tilo?

    c) Is it easy to change the make_inst_cd script to a "make_inst_tftpimage"-
    script? Has anybody done this before?
