ris linux
 
Hi i want to make a remote installation server to install Linux and windows over network.
what are the requirements.

A working Linux system (I have done that with Debian 5, 6 and Ubuntu).
For Windows you will find information here: http://oss.netfarm.it/guides/ris-linux.php
For Linux installation over network just search on the web for Linux PXE install, you will get plenty of useful links.

Thank for reply.
But i have read that link already and it kind of confusing.
I have already made a linux network installation server in fedora for red hat ,ubuntu but I need to know what more requirements are their for windows installation.

Ris is restarting after "setup is inspecting the hardware" prompt.
I have followed http://oss.netfarm.it/guides/ris-linux.php

Finally done it using these tutorials thanks to them:-

points to note :-
1: next server option in dhcpd.conf must be ip of your server
2: samba share must be tftpboot which contains your win files to avoid blue screen error
3: binlsrv is important for providing network drivers to pxe booting clients
4: ls | awk '$0!=tolower($0){printf "mv \"%s\" \"%s\"\n",$0,tolower($0)}' | sh (script is to convert win directory and files to lower case)
5: tftp remapping is important to convert \\ to / slash.
(thanks to all you guys for helping)
