Hello!
I might not be too much help, but at least I might be able to point you in
the right direction. My best recommendation would be to use imaging. I
work for a university and that's how we get the OS on several hundred
machines. However, we us MS Win machines, but the concepts should be the
same. I know this can be done in OS X as well, so Linux, or Fedora Core in
this case, should be able to do the same. The only trick is that you will
have to make an image for EACH hardware configuration. If you have a good
mix of machines, this could be real annoying. All you would have to do is
create an *.iso image of the entire hard drive for a target machine (one
which you wish to duplicate, or image) and remotely install the image to a
client with the same hardware configuration as the image created. The image
would serve as an installation disc and make an exact replica of the target
machine. Like I said, this probably won't be too much help for you, since I
really don't know too much about imaging in Linux. I have been researching
it in OS X, so when I figure it out, it should be a similar process. I hope
I have at least given you a start in the right direction.

Hi List;
Anyone have any ideas on how I could automate the install of Fedora on 150+
computers with various specs (i.e. a variety of models, sound cards, video
cards, hard drive sizes, etc)
???
