Hi there
Imaging would work on similar specification machines but the kickstart
option is much more flexible and is much easier to manage long term
than having to build multiple complete images as the set up does not
need identical machines: having said that we just use thin clients off
a server even faster, as an aside carbon copy cloner will image mac OSx
to create disk images to boot from

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.

Subject: How to Install Fedora on 150+ machines

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)
???
