"flarcreate"
where could i find documentation on "flarcreate".....i'm not familiar with this.

i so however have documentation on JumpStart that comes included with the Solaris 7 manuals.

basically what i am trying to do is to speed up the installation process spread over 5 machines in a computer lab. right now after going through a manual Solaris install, i also have to apply patches that take an hour or more. i would like to just be able to clone a complete machine on those 5 other machines and have the entire thing automated as much as possible. i thought that JumpStart only did a Solaris install, i did not know it was capable of cloning "images" to various machines. if this is true that JumpStart is capable of "installing" disk images, that would be perfect.

gnome-disk-image-mounter

GNOME-DISK-IMAGE-MOU(1) 					gnome-disk-utility					   GNOME-DISK-IMAGE-MOU(1)

NAME

       gnome-disk-image-mounter - Attach and mount disk images

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-disk-image-mounter [--writable] [URI...]

DESCRIPTION

       gnome-disk-image-mounter can be used to set up disk images. Both regular files and GVfs URIs (such as smb://filer/media/file.iso) can be
       used in the URI parameter. If no URIs are given and a window server is running, a graphical file chooser will be presented.

       Note that gnome-disk-image-mounter will not mount filesystems or unlock encrypted volumes in the disk image - this responsibility is left
       to the automounter in GNOME Shell to ensure that the same interactions happen as if the disk image was a regular physical device or disc.

       By default the disk images are attached read-only, use the option --writable to change this.

RETURN VALUE

       gnome-disk-image-mounter returns 0 on success and non-zero on failure.
