See some earlier thread. Akin to DHCP, but for install images. Basic setup:
Copy ISO to disk. Loop-mount, make available with vsftpd. Add SLP config
entry, enjoy. On distros which by default set up iptables to block incoming
(any that do not?), make appropriate entries for ftp and slp. Yast would do
all of this, I assume likewise for $DISTRO.

The SLP entry must be (adjust paths, /etc/slp.reg.d/anyfile):

service:install.suse:ftp://$HOSTNAME/suse10.3_i386/,en,65535
description openSUSE 10.3 i386

Boot anything which supports SLP, e.g. any SUSE CD 1, the mini install ISO
(35MB), and select SLP installation and the above SLP entry from the choice.

Given enough interest I *might* have my arm twisted to bring in an SLP
server on Tue.

I didn't mean next Tue as it's already full. Any next meeting fine by me -
if there's interest of course.
