Systemimager is not...Hi Luc,<br />Sorry for late answer.<br />Systemimager is not developped right now, however it's very simple under the hood. (it's just rsync + pxe + some scripts) For example it's very easy to integrate kickstart with it. Recently I've also tweaked it a little to support kvm. Probably it's going to be obsoleted in a few years as grub2 and ext4 is comming - they are not supported by ssystemimager now.linuxdatacenter blog adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14851109459508657333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116711658618464029.post-57724910414544593892010-05-14T00:54:26.377+02:002010-05-14T00:54:26.377+02:00Is SystemImager still developed?
