The problem with PXE booting/diskless/network installs/automated installs i=
s=20
that there so many different ways to go about things.  I've been kicking=20
around documenting some of this myself for the last 6-12 months.   What I'v=
e=20
found is my setup evolves every time I impliment it, and I've been loathe t=
o=20
write a HOWTO type thing and make people think it's the only way to do=20
things, while the other extreme, a brain dump of everything I know about th=
e=20
subject is probably not useful either.
