[Sunhelp] Imaging machines

[Kalusniak, Jeff]

Isn't jumpstart a little overkill for 8 machines?  I've never worked with it
before, but my first inclination was that of Steve's...to dd slice 2 from
one to another.

I really doubt we'll have need for the jumpstart server after the other 7
are loaded.  If we do, it'll be a ways down the road.

I would suggest jumpstart. Build a jumpstart server then load the
clients off of that.

Just my 2 cents worth.
