Hi,

at the moment our installserver is running quite good. What I don't like
is going to every machine as soon a reinstall is necessary.
So what do I plan to do:

I want every client to start up and check whether he needs to be
installed or not (best including wake up on lan). Ok this is the main
aim and want to realise it step by step.

Thinking of the following: There is one bootp/tftp, dhcp and/or PXE
Server running. And for sure the installserver itself. My problem is
now. What do I need PXE or only dhcp and tftp. 

And how to set it up. The first aim would be to get a full
networkinstall without any boot media.

Thanks in advanced for all your suggestions.

cheers frank
