I have a project coming up which involves installing Linux on Compaq LTE 5400 laptops. I tried installing Mandrake initially but that gave some kernel panics so dropped that in favor of Slackware.
Slackware seems to install easily. The issue that I have is that I have to install the operating system on around 15-20 laptops. Instead of doing the installation individually, I was thinking of running a replication server where one could store the image and then use the network to install the operating system on the laptops.
If anybody has tried this out, I would really like tips and pointers on how to go about setting this up.
Thanks.
