I have a NFS server that has all versions of mandrake that we support.
Each workstation has access to this NFS volume with amd. DHCP is also
running on this server to dole out IP addresses.
I run the following command to re-install or upgrade a machine.
rekickstart mdkversion. For example, to

I stand corrected. It used to work that way. It doesn't now. It looks
like you need to make the floppy
Jack,
Actually ran across your pages independently while looking for some
other info. A lot of really valuable info on them whether you are using
a VIAO or not. Just wanted to say thanks for the site.

hi lieven
if the workstations have same configurations like
make/model, hard disk, memory, etc ... you can install
linux on one system only, then 'dd' the hard disk to
the other disks. well you will have to collect the
hard disks from all the workstations though.
just adding to your ideas
the repeatable auto-install (e.g. Kickstart clone) sounds more like what
you want, but I have instructions for making a bootable network.img CD

We have quite a number of workstations to install in our school, but a
lot of floppydrives suffer from wear.
This is how I want to rollout:

Thanks Dianne,
I also came to this idea, but it is quite a hassle to disassemble
harddisks from about a 100 workstations and then reassemble them.
I got some feedback from Jack Coates, on how to create a network boot
CD. This is a lot easier to roll-out.
Here's my complete setup:
