What's to be done, maybe people here can help?
How about organizing a publicly accessable WWW Internet site from where people can install ANY of the major distro remotely ?
Debian, Ubunto, Fedora, RedHat, Mandrake, Suse, Gentoo. The more, the merrier.
This can be done of course providing the person wishing to install has got
an install diskette or CD and by entering at the install boot-prompt, like so:
boot: linux ks=http://203.7.132.9/fedora3/fc3.cfg
as an illustration.
Then, everything that follows is automated.
This System requires some organization but once going there is little maintenance to be done. Even if this service is PAID I think some would be willing to pay for the convenience.
Maybe there is a service like this out there that's operational already. Anyone ?
