I have been contemplating using winpe and automated installs. All the tools are
available with windows and the WIAK. Cobbler would use the winpe image to
bootstrap.
If I get it to go I will let you know.
Thanks,

I discovered the Ultimate Deployment site last week:
http://www.ultimatedeployment.org/win7pxelinux1.html
It uses RIS for Linux and a bunch of other packages to install Windows 7
via PXE. The WIMlib (http://sourceforge.net/projects/wimlib/)
SourceForge project looks useful for creating images for newer versions
of Windows that use Windows Deployment Services instead of RIS.
I got the impression that you should be able to use Cobbler plus Samba
plus RIS for Linux's BINL server to do crude PXE installs. Streamlining
importing the Windows distros from DVD and applying service packs and
device drivers would be much more work.
