Dear Friends,We have in our college around 100 Intel Dot Station
with 300MHz,128MB RAM & 10GB hard disk. We are trying to convert
them intosome flavour of linux.?Open Office & gcc are the only two
packages we are going to use since it is a first year lab.?It works
well with FEDORA 9 but installation taking nearly 2 hours.
Your problem would be that you do not want to spend 2 hours on each
machine. Learn to use some kind of tool like kickstart or
fully-automated-install (FAI) to automate the installation of all the
machines except the first one.
Basically, the idea is that all the remaining machines are installed
in a way like the first one and the installation of these remaining
machines is automatic.
You can further speed up the installation by making a local copy of
all the packages available via the first machine.

Kapil.
