At my job, I designed a system we call Pullstart that we use to install |
| 2 |
Gentoo servers. I'm basically building what I call a "stage-4", which is |
| 3 |
simply a stage3 updated, with the packages we want added to it and a generic |
| 4 |
kernel built with genkernel. It is made available through a tarball on a web |
| 5 |
server and I have a simple script generated by web-based configuration |
| 6 |
utility to install it on the server and configure it for the machine |
| 7 |
(partitionning, networking, etc...). The only thing you need to run the |
| 8 |
script is to have a basic linux system running, which you can get with a |
| 9 |
livecd or a floppy like tomslinux (sorry, I forgot the exact name...). Of |
| 10 |
course, I have an NDA and the scripts all belong to the company, so I can't |
| 11 |
make it available, but you can build yourself something similar. |
