[ILUG] Re: redhat 6.1 remote install

Well you could use powerquest/GHOST/Altirus Rapideploy or a variety of other
imaging utilities, or you could set up an LCM/PXE server and boot from that,
or you could attach the keyboard and monitor from your other machine and use
Redhat's remote install option. Actually you can download the Altiris
disk-suite on a free trial bases and try it with that.

		 Not really. Does the boot image support a serial terminal ?
Then at least

server).

		 Suppose. You do realise that you are admitting to the world
what an
