Carl,
Images can be specified as kernel append parameters. Consider a pxe
menu. See attached as a pxe menu example, and look for local.cfg in the
documentation directory for a reference on all the SystemImager
variables you can pass to the autoinstall client as kernel append
parameters.
Let us know how it goes!
Cheers, -Brian
Thus spake Carl Richell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Hello and thank you in advance for your advice.
I am setting up a SystemImager 3.7.3 server for the imaging of our laptop and desktop line. We will have about 10 different images. My current plan is something like this:
SystemImager Server
|
PXE Boot Clients
|
Prompt to Choose Installation Image
I'm stuck on prompting to choose installation image. How can I accomplish this or is there a better way altogether?
Cheers,
Carl Richell
