Linux / network install

[Cyber Source]

I will be playing with the network install and then the nfs mount with 
the rescue cd. The nfs rescue mount would be ideal for us as we don't do 
individual installs for our Linux boxes, that would take way too long. 
What we do is bang away at the latest release (FC3) and work out the 
kinks, apply our tweaks (fonts, flash, java, mp3 stuff, etc.) and then 
dump/restore/tar to a new drive and let Linux (kudzu) pick up the new 
hardware for each respective new pc. When doing this with a laptop, you 
could then see the hurdle we face (not being able to plug in a drive), 
so then the nfs mount rescue cd would be perfect. I will keep you 
posted. btw, Ghost is great for windows stuff (moreover, ntfs stuff) but 
for Linux dump/restore/tar work great and no license crapola.
