4 Hi

6 We've put together an automatic installer using PXE, some bash scripts
7 and prebuilt binaries that are delivered via "emerge -G". So far it
8 works very well. There's documentation and the install scripts
9 available at http://www.scms.waikato.ac.nz/~baz. Theres also a bunch of
10 client maintenance scripts we use also but we haven't documented or
11 published those yet (due to lack of time 8).

19 | I'm working for a big city and we're currently migrating all desktops to
20 | SuSE linux. To install all clients automatically over the network we're
21 | using PXE, AutoYAST, and an install.xml file. I think such a system is
22 also
23 | a good idea for gentoo.
24 | Because of this fact i wanted to ask what you are thinking about such a
25 | system. In my opinion such a feature will save much money and some
26 companies
27 | can migrate more easily to distributions like gentoo. it also saves a
28 lot of
29 | money and the annoying reinstallation tasks for the administrators :)

31 | Hope for an answer and a few comments.
