Thanks to everyone for the responses... but JET is Jumpstart. I'm looking to expand into a platform independent imaging system that isn't just a net boot wrapper around the installer.
The problem is that we're currently having to deal with in the data center is that most shops depend on both Jumpstart and Kickstart, or equivalent wrappers (JET, etc). Now we're seeing deployment of hypervisors or increasing deployment of variants such as Ubuntu or OpenSolaris that don't have good net install options. We need a new agnostic network installation system. benr.
