For example:

You must have enough space in /var

# cd /var/tmp
# mkdir flash
# cd flash
# pwd
/var/tmp/flash
# flarcreate -n [hostname].flashc -S -x /var/tmp/flash -c
[hostname].flashc

where:
[hostname] = the name of your server.

Regards and good luck.

Yeh. That looks a decent way...

Ideally, I'd like to create a bootable CD/DVD to be able to restore the
image but thats not too straighforward, is it?

Why not create a JumpStart server and use the Flar to restore your
systems? You could then remotely restore systems.

If you could fit the whole flash archive on a CD or DVD, then
check this out:

Doesn't look too bad..
