<br>the OS very quickly. One note, you should consider changing the IP<br>address(s) before you create the initial image so when you boot the new<br>server you don't run the risk of any conflicts.</blockquote><div><br>
Yeah, the nics support PXE. I am going to try with Knoppix first
... I have to download a newer version. The version that I have
doesn't recognize the nics. I only have 45 minutes left.
However, I going to look at systemimager and mondorescue for future
reference. I think that they work with the assumption or work
better if the nics support PXE.<br>
