Especially since FDD aren't that common anymore... I'll see if I can't adapt my SOP:s to boot and install from network.
The set up is actually not too complicated. I really recommend it, you just plug in the computer and let it install. There are various variants, you can either define what will be installed by naming the pxe controll file according to the mac address, or you can make a default boot menue. Boot menues are described here: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX#Custom_Menu_Example_with_s...
good luck, Isaac

I've really not had any good experiences with pxe, but that was related to Windows-machines and RIS. Maybe this'll go better. Thx for the hint though, I'll check this out.
