and if you're smart, install the first one and configure to taste
(no external packages, just off the cdrom). then make a kickstart
disk and edit the config file. line up the other 18 machines, and do
the following:
for box in seq 18; do
insert ks disk into box
poweron
wait for it to finish using the floppy (it definitely
doesn't need it once it partitions the disks).
end
depending on boot times you can get all 18 machines doing an install in
about 20 minutes (the nfs server and your network will be a bit depressed)
and then you can go have lunch with the knowledge that they'll finish
installing themselves by the time you get back.
