Automated network installation through PXE is much faster than cloning. Last week, a Chennai based company requested for installing fedora-10 linux in 60 machines where it took me less than 2 hrs to install (nearly 1500 packages) in all the 60 machines (The only thing I have done is just set the PCs to boot through PXE and watching the entire installation process). If anyone require our pxe installation setup box, pl. contact me offlist, I would be glad to provide this within Chennai. Now, it is configured only for Fedora-10 and can be configured for other distros also. Regards S.
