slipstreaming inst too hard. We have done this for the virtio drivers so they are available when we build windows on kvm.
There are good tutorials online. Service packs and patches not hard but a lot of work. ________________________________________ From: cobbler-boun...@lists.fedorahosted.org [cobbler-boun...@lists.fedorahosted.org] on behalf of Richard Siddall [richard.sidd...@elirion.net] Sent: Monday, October 29, 2012 7:05 PM To: cobbler mailing list Subject: Re: [cobbler] Windows install with Cobbler Mantenuto, Brian wrote: > I have been contemplating using winpe and automated installs.

The WIMlib (http://sourceforge.net/projects/wimlib/) SourceForge project looks useful for creating images for newer versions of Windows that use Windows Deployment Services instead of RIS. I got the impression that you should be able to use Cobbler plus Samba plus RIS for Linux's BINL server to do crude PXE installs. Streamlining importing the Windows distros from DVD and applying service packs and device drivers would be much more work.
