My MacBook Pro desperately needs to get wiped. Unfortunately, the motorcycle accident did do some damage, as I can't get the DVD drive to work. I could just hook up an external USB CDROM drive that I've got, but I've had limited success with it when installing FreeBSD on a desktop. I don't really want it to crap out halfway through the installation and leave me without a working laptop.
Do any of y'all (y'all referring to local bay area friends, of course) run OSX Server? I could install over the network if I had access to a computer running OSX Server. That would be fantastic.
You know how to find me.
You might try PC-BSD or DesktopBSD for installing on a Desktop system.
A lot less work unless you gotta have GNOME.
Also PC-BSD has some nifty stuff to it and DTBSD provides a Ports GUI.
Having a workstation up in an 45min is just so dang fun... hehe
Lets see if this works today..
You could just use a BSD/Linux (ewww) box to load it..
isc-dhcp
tftpd (hpa's recommended)
apache / lighttpd / nfs
NetRestore
a little time..
and you can image your mac without needing OSX Server.
