Hey, all.
I'm looking to image about 30 Dell desktops running Windows, and I think updcast is the way to do it.
These Dell machines all the have Broadcom 4400 ethernet adapter (kernel module b44) on board, which isn't available as an option (yet?) in Cast-o-matic, so I assume I have to compile my own kernel, then add the bootloader, then.... and so on.
I have a Linux fileserver with TFTP available, so it would be super if I could do it via PXE. However, I have less than no experience with TFTP, PXE and initrd, and while there are helpful bits of stuff around the archive, I'm wondering if there's anything in the way of a more cohesive guide for putting together such a setup.
I've seen udpcast in action at Acadia University, where Donald Teed (of some udpcast-list [in]famy) has got it set up in a very slick way, and I have to agree that it's super-cool.
Thanks in advance for any help.
