How do you implement remote w/s builds across the network? I'd considered a duel partition and 'ghosting' across but most of these w/s only have 4GB HDDs. We try not to have CD-ROMs on any PC's as it's just another item to replace every term!
I can't help with many of your questions, but I might be able to make a suggestion here.. g4u http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/ that's a nice boot floppy that'll allow you to image to / from an FTP server, which you could set up on your Debian box. I do this with my test-bed box at home, uploading to an FTP server running on my WinXP box. The FTP server is set for anonymous to point at a specific image directory, though I guess in a live environment I'd set that up so anonymous had read-only to the directory, and have a separate secure account setup for uploading. This way you can boot the end w/s from a floppy disk and then back up / restore whenever you have the need. ----- Paul Graydon Network Technician Haywards Heath College http://www.hhc.ac.uk (01444) 456281 "Joy is not in things; it is in us."
