I have 50 identical workstations that are being dropped shipped from the vendor directly to the remote locations. I need to install a identical configuration, including installed packages, scripts and customize configuration onto each of this workstations. I can not set up a kickstart server to install from remotely because of my organizations security policies. Not to mention that it would be painfully slow. I thought about DD-ing my "Master" build and sending it to the remote sites, but some of the admins are not very Linux savvy. I would really like to build a bootable DVD that would install the cloned Master build from my server to theirs. I was looking for something that would look like Anaconda to the person installing the image. If I could get them through this base install I think it would be easy to document how to change the workstation unique parameters or values. Does anyone have a suggest of how to accomplished this? BTW, this will be a RHEL 5.3 server install.

Tks

I am not telling solution, but you can follow this method.
Our university has several departments, each department has their own labs. Labs ....with similar type of 120 systems.
So our university network administrator is doing like this:
he installs all required features into a removable bootable hard disk!
Now he just copies files from this hard disk to Lab systems.

Perhaps this will help you:

It is for RHEL4 but you may search for a more up-to-date documentation.

Another solution is to create a tar archive of the master system's filesystem, build a custom kernel, that has support for all required hardware on the target system, create an initrd with some tools (fdisk, mkfs, cp, mv, ...) and replace /sbin/init with a custom script that creates the required partitions and filesystems, install the boot loader and extracts the tar archive and reboots ...
