Going forward:
- Do we buy DVD drives/burners to install VL?
We have been getting a few DVD burners in here and there so cost of
buying a burner = zero. Having dvd drives on hand to install images also
good but require opening every system not equipped with one to install
from dvd = labor.
- Do we work out network installs?
Not an issue if the computer already has a nic and works...
Otherwise crack the case, install a nice, etc. result = labor
The POSSIBLE Way (and maybe what Tom is thinking and I'm not reading)
is the network install would be a dd image of the master drive that we
then use a boot cd / floppy to copy the image to the hard drive. Like a
network version install of ghost...
Hey, CAN ghost do that? Load an image from across the network on a
server? Throw in the Ghost disk, it starts it's thing then contacts a
server to actually transfer the image instead of using a cd / dvd!????
It's a thought. We would need dedicated nic's for the job... Not an
issue there...
- Do we stick with install ISOs on CDs?
The easiest way as I see it right now...
