Well, what we do is, we have a fairly static image on the boot-cds, and |
| 13 |
the most recent stage4 is pulled over the net. PXE was only workable |
| 14 |
with a few hassles (we are using standard hardware, most of the time |
| 15 |
cheapest you can get), for example you always have the problem of the |
| 16 |
server reinstalling when rebooting or alike. |
| 17 |
This has worked quite well, although we are in a setting, where we have |
| 18 |
to setup >100 servers for just one weekend, effectively reinstalling |
| 19 |
them every time (rented). |
