You could setup the one system, and then use UDPCAST with a bootup diskette that supports the nic in the machines. It could then directly image the hard disk to other machines at one time. I use it with the g4l project, and setup one machine in a lab to a new image, and then use the udpcast to image the other 19 machines in the room using the multi-cast. The site for udpcast can build custom boot diskettes, but you'll have to have information on the nic and controller to make sure the right ones get included. > 2006/1/24, Mikkel L.
