boot - Install multiple Linux from network


For example if I have 4 computers and I want to install Linux to all these, what is the fastest way to install multiple computers at the same time and how ? For example our school has computer classes and if I need to try something which needs multiple computers how can I quickly set them up ? I was thinking that if I create a image first and then somehow install it via network boot ? Suggestions ? Using Xubuntu.


Answer



You can use Cobbler.


It has a nice web interface to manage your deployment image and you can create seed and kickstart file to automate install.


You can create system profiles by mac address to automatically choose the good kickstart file.
