I am brand new to this, and I realize that netbooting has been done for decades (Solaris at least). I am trying to build a Linux (Ubuntu) box that can house a few boot images and configure the machines after a fresh install. I want to have this all done over a network, using the PXE boot option. I have 23089743 questions, but I would like to start with the obvious first and then move into the more mundane.
1) Where / How do I build a Windows XP boot image? Is it just a bootable ISO image? If so, do I place an 'unattend.cfg' file in there too so it answers all the groovy install questions? 2) Are there actions available after the last boot to trigger variances in the installation, like IP addressing, hostname, etc. or would I need a different 'image' for each variant? That should get me really scratching my head. Thanks in Advance, Patrick ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
