I thought it might be appropriate anyway because network and video cards are the main differences between computerbank machines, so it would be possible to write scripts to deal with/detect those differences (what about a hardware list generated by the ex-Prodigy tool Discover?; then feed the list to fai). All the rest of the installation process, which is currently a matter of following exact instructions, could be automated. That would save a lot of time and also incorrect installations.

Here in SA, our main difference is drives. One machine may have a 2gb
drive while the next may have 4 500mb drives. This would make automated
systems interesting.
