Diskless OS installation


I work in a lab evironment that requires that I reinstall OSs as different tests are required for differ customers. Unforunately dual booting is not possible as I have a boss that makes a complete mess of any system, I've tried to correct this but you know how it is, so I'd rather reinstall anyway. I've heard there are ways to do this without the install disks, perhaps across the network, could someone enlighten me as to the ways this is done or point me to some how-tos.

Thank you kindly

Gauol

I know for me personally, I have so many drives that I have to install from image (Redhat Fedora, Specifically). First, all I do is make one CD and then have the ISO images on a second drive.......I have found over time and especially since I love the complete install......it really saves a heck of a lot of time.......

For me, its just faster and easier that way........
