[OpenIndiana-discuss] copying a reference installation to other hosts

[Hans J. Albertsson]

Suppose one has several machines, all intended to run exactly the same 
software.
Suppose one gets one of them absolutely perfect, and one wants all the 
other, electronically identical, machines to have exactly the same 
software installed: What is the easiest way?

Generate a list of packages and config details ( how to do that??? 
getting a list of packages is straight-forward, but config details?? ) 
and install from that list after a bit of editing and scripting it?

Do a replication of the rpool to a disk intended for another system?? 
Uggh. I want a way that doesn't include opening up a server.

Or some third way??
