Just adding: I'm not even sure whether I want it to be X based (students
will be able to start X by startx. I just want the installation and most of
the configuration to be automatic (of course I'll have to supply hostname
and ip number, but I don't want to supply more then that. The
configuration of ethernet (they're all the same), other hardware and
software should be done automatically) -- so after I finish making it I
can give the inst. disk to almost everybody and he'll be able to install
it.
Moreover, I want to be able to change upgrade this lab the same way. (If
it was so easy, I wouldn't have to ask you for the solution...) (I can fix
that by putting /usr on our RAID, but I want the students to work
locally)
I hope I'm clear now.
TIA,
Liran.
