So, the classroom imaged alright overnight. It seems like the server ran out of 
memory and had to kill a few processes during the course of the imaging 
process, but every workstation seemed to image fine. The beeping classroom was 
rather amusing when I came in.
 
Might this locking up of the server be alleviated by popping in some more 
memory? (it's only got 512 right now, I believe, it's just exactly the same 
type of hardware as the workstations, really) or will it simply eat up as much 
memory as it gets and still lock up?
 
Other than that, let me see...Ummm...ok, yeah, so when I do an si_updateclient, 
it seems to wipe out every change I make during the autoconfig script that 
first time, EXCEPT for the hostname, which keeps the workstation from realizing 
it needs to run the autoconfig script again. I can change it to test the 
contents of /etc/hosts/ instead of the $HOSTNAME variable, though I suppose I 
should really figure out how all the systemimager scripts work and see if maybe 
they would help me accomplish my goals in an easier way.
 
Also, is there any way to trigger an autoinstall on the workstation and pass it 
the imagename? trying to do si_updateclient with both --autoinstall and --image 
doesn't seem to work...
 
I hope this finds you all doing well. Take care!
