Hi,

Well, a bit-complex shell script could do what you're looking for (the
script should be smart enough for multi-level stages though), but
there are other solutions (although I don't know if they are using
PXE):

* System Imager - http://wiki.systemimager.org/index.php/Main_Page
* FAI (Fully Automated install) -
http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/ - this one fully supports PXE

Hope this helps,
Hetz
