Greetings List,

 

I just wanted to get some feedback on a potential configuration I plan on implementing.

 

I am required to deploy both Linux and Windows systems on a network, and I would like to combine the two installations in to the same diskless client, which will be booted via PXE.

 

When the diskless client launches (it's a Debian installation BTW), a perl script runs and queries a database to establish if the work station (based on mac address), should be installing Linux or Windows.

 

If it is Windows, then I would pass control off to the master script, if it's linux I pass control over to FAI which is an automated Debian installer.

 

The Debian diskless client will automatically do the probing of hardware and loading of driver modules, so I won't need the master script to manage any of that.

 

Can anyone provide a little background on the Linux boot media used in unattended please, so I have a better idea, what I need to install in my diskless client, to have it launch the master and install.pl scripts.

 

Any feedback on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers,

 

Mitchell Smith
