I've only ever built machines one at a time but with this many I would like to build 1 - 1650 and 1 - 1950 and have the others built from the first two images. I'm told kickstart will do this.
If anyone knows of another way, I'm willing to try that as well.
Thank you

you can do this very easily.
You need an nfs server, and you need to put the files of the install cd on it.
Look here:
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/w...x_Installation
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/l...ickstart2.html
To automatically install, you need to do create a kickstart file. Do this with system-config-kickstart package.
Then boot the cd and something like "linux ks=location-of-kickstart-file" at the boot prompt.
