It is really "a long time ago" that I installed something over PXE but I think these images are just normal desktop images and use the normal desktop kernels. But I may be wrong. If I'm right you can contribute by generating different PXE netboot images. Or you can do a feature request in launchpad. > > Please let me know if i need to furnish additional information about my > setup. > > Please suggest/guide further. > There are many options available to do things a little different! But I think this is something every SysAdmin must master for himself/herself. Just something for you to look further: FAI (search for this on the Internet) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open_source_configuration_management_software. These may or may not help you. It depends on your network, your skills and your willingness to learn. If I where in your situation I would write a small script that installs the server kernel, remotely deploy this script on every server, reboot automatically every server and after a restart deinstalls the desktop kernel. Then I would take a closer look at the content of your PXE install image.
