[Computerbank] Automatic Installation, anyone?

[Patrick Maslen]

Hi all,

There are a few packages out there which will perform an automatic install of Debian GNU/Linux. In particular there is a package called fai (fully automated installation). It is useful any time there are multiple machines to install with Linux in a similar configuration - it sounds very useful for Computerbank, as it would save on time and mistakes during installs. It seems appropriate because computerbank has a definite process which it follows to install Debian on its machines. Fai automates that process.

If anyone is interested in this idea, I would be happy to research it further, to find out how and if this application can specifically benefit computerbank.
