xenial-qgm                          Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64Bit
trusty714                          Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64Bit
xenial916                          Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64Bit
-----------------------------------------------

Download the image of your choice (here: xenial916) with

server ~ # linuxmuster-client -a auto -c xenial916 -H xenial

The computer group (hardware class) xenial is created and several files are created. The most important ones are

/var/linbo/start.conf.xenial
/var/linbo/xenial916.cloop
/var/linbo/xenial916.cloop.postsync
/var/linbo/linuxmuster-client/xenial/...

Now you can add client computers to the computer group xenial.

Note

If a file already exists, the program terminates first. The -f option resumes a download and overwrites existing files, automatically backing up /var/linbo/start. conf. xenial and /var/linbo/linuxmuster-client/xenial.
