Arun Help to create a Installation Server -
http://wiki.schoolos.org/index.php?title=Install_SchoolOS_using_SchoolOS_based_Network_Installation_Server

Look at the details -
This procedure show, How you can create a network based installation server
using PXE and Live Ubuntu CD.
If you look at tftpboot setting , then he has used

DEFAULT pxeboot
TIMEOUT 10
LABEL pxeboot
KERNEL vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=initrd.lz boot=casper only-ubiquity netboot=nfs
nfsroot=192.168.1.3:/opt/schoolos/
ONERROR LOCALBOOT 0


This option is the second option for Ubuntu Live CD which tell "Install
Ubuntu/SchoolOS" -
http://code.google.com/p/schoolos/source/browse/trunk/Ubuntu/images/text.cfg?r=23


If you remove only-ubiquity  option for boot then you will be able to use
LiveCD filesysystem over network.
Please try to create setup.

Next step, we can chroot into the filesystem and create users. I think this
can be used for setting up diskless clients.
Will work on this. You also work on this and report, I will be having my
desktop for next 10 days so i cannot experiment.

This is why i am not going with LTSP, This way we can create a Installation
but DisklessBoot server which will show two option

1) Try Ubuntu/SchoolOS
2) Install Ubuntu/SchoolOS

with first option user will be able to boot into ubuntu (like the setup
present at CSE-IITD)
and with second option user will be able to install schoolos/ubuntu/debian
at his/her desktop/laptop via network..

@Kalpana - May you start looking at this idea ?
