Red Hat & Windows Deployment Help

[RHTeach]

I am looking for a solution to deploying Redhat and Windows XP to several machines. I have configured a Linux PXE server that will install RHEL on multiple machines, but I don't know how to make the same server install Windows. Does anyone know how I can configure a Linux server to provide PXE for Windows XP...

What I would like, is one central Linux server that can push out a RHEL or Windows image to several machines.

Any recommendations would be appriciated!

try this
DRBL

I may try DRBL for another issue entirely, but I fear it may not help RHTeach in this case. I read the original request as detailing a need for a single installation box for either Windows or Linux pxe clients. While I guess we could marry DRBL with a ghost box, I hope we can get closer.

I was looking at installing my winboxes disklessly, for a while, and wandered through a lot of pages about Bart PE before deciding it was too kludgy to continue. This recent article looks interesting, though, if you have a winbox to do the pointy clicky parts in the extraction as mentioned; just move everthing to your existing TFTP linux box instead of to a win TFTP server as they mention, and you could be set.

Of course, you must report your results. Include configs. I still have my own PXE Windows Install server on the backburner, after all.
