Automated Install System

[EngineerDave]

I am trying to set up an automated installation system for hardware testing and was wondering if anyone on here can point me in the right direction.

I would like it to be compatable with a wide range of OS distros including Ubuntu, Red Hat, CentOS, Suse, Windows, Dos, FreeBSD, etc. If some custom scrypting is required thats fine, but flexibility is key.

I am looking into Jumstart and Kickstart right now, but I am not sure if that is what I need.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

Given the variety of distros I don't think you're going to be able to have 1 package to do all of that; it simply won't run on every machine.
