You might want to look at using UDPCAST.. You could setup the one
system, and then use UDPCAST with a bootup diskette that supports the nic
in the machines. It could then directly image the hard disk to other machines
at one time. I use it with the g4l project, and setup one machine in a lab to a
new image, and then use the udpcast to image the other 19 machines in the
room using the multi-cast.
The site for udpcast can build custom boot diskettes, but you'll have to have
information on the nic and controller to make sure the right ones get
included.
