Building Identical Configurations

[Steve Douville]

I'd like to build and tune one server and then create an iso of the configuration so that I can easily build additional machines in the same configuration. I've tried googling but perhaps I just haven't used the right search parameters to find the info I'm looking for. I have figured out being able to create the iso using mkisofs and creating a bootable disk. I'm just not sure what part of the file system I need and then how to go about building the new machines once I have the disk ready.

Can anyone point me to some sites or if it's easier than that, just give me some idea?

Thanks!
Steve
