I just want the installation and most of the configuration to be automatic (of course I'll have to supply hostname and ip number, but I don't want to supply more then that. The configuration of ethernet (they're all the same), other hardware and software should be done automatically) -- so after I finish making it I can give the inst. disk to almost everybody and he'll be able to install it.
Moreover, I want to be able to change upgrade this lab the same way. (If it was so easy, I wouldn't have to ask you for the solution...) (I can fix that by putting /usr on our RAID, but I want the students to work locally) I hope I'm clear now. TIA, Liran.
