>Re install network: what hardware do we need? Where from? (I could >bring some UTP, an 8port 100M switch and a power board). > I thought about this too post-post (;-) When you said harddrive install, did you mean opening each box to attach one temporarily? - Slow & guaranteed to introduce faults & more delays, if servicing a group, imho. Setting up a server (I thought you meant) is also unnecessary fuss, when everyone has a CD player (hopefully bootable) now. I just assumed you meant a networked harddrive, which we can easily make work, and a bottleneck.
[Robert Fisher] Network installation is dead simple. You just copy the files to an ftp repository first and use a boot floppy on the install machine. I have done it several times. Saves burning CD's too.
