Apologies for the off topic post. I have searched Google, Freshmeat and Sourceforge without success, and this is where the smart people are... I need to do an automated, remote installation of Linux on a large number of networked computers running Windows NT 4.0. I can place an executable on each of these computers and run it with Admin privileges. These computers are using an NTFS file system and have unpartitioned space available. So, I need a Windows NT program that can create a bootable Linux partition, and then reboot into Linux from that partition. Does anyone know of anything like that? If nothing like this exists, I will have to write it in the next month or two. My hypothetical plan is to (1) port a recent LILO or GRUB to Windows, and then (2) write a Windows NT program that creates a small FAT32 partition, formats it, mounts it, and copies in the kernel, modules, init, and a minimal set of essential files. It would then run the Windows NT port of LILO/GRUB to set up the MBR to boot Linux from the new partition. The minimal Linux install would bootstrap the rest of the Linux install over the network. Thanks for any advice or hints anyone can provide...
