How to Install Fedora on 150+ machines

[Billy Masopust]

Hello!

I might not be too much help, but at least I might be able to point you in 
the right direction.  My best recommendation would be to use imaging.  I 
work for a university and that's how we get the OS on several hundred 
machines.  However, we us MS Win machines, but the concepts should be the 
same.  I know this can be done in OS X as well, so Linux, or Fedora Core in 
this case, should be able to do the same.  The only trick is that you will 
have to make an image for EACH hardware configuration.  If you have a good 
mix of machines, this could be real annoying.  All you would have to do is 
create an *.iso image of the entire hard drive for a target machine (one 
which you wish to duplicate, or image) and remotely install the image to a 
client with the same hardware configuration as the image created.  The image 
would serve as an installation disc and make an exact replica of the target 
machine.  Like I said, this probably won't be too much help for you, since I 
really don't know too much about imaging in Linux.  I have been researching 
it in OS X, so when I figure it out, it should be a similar process.  I hope 
I have at least given you a start in the right direction.
