It would be great to have a boot floppy which would bootstrap an installation over the network. Does anyone have any experience in this area? Any advice on suitable technologies gratefully received.
[Apologies in advance for mentioning this on a SuSE list] The Mandrake installation process is excellent for this sort of task. We have boot floppies set up so that we just stick one in, type 'fsc' (Fen Systems client) and leave it running. Works like a charm.* Michael * except when you encounter machines whose hardware lies about its capabilities, such as an on-board S3 Trio64 which claims it can support a much higher refresh rate than it is capable of. Don't ask.
