	And instead of using kickstart, I suggest using preseed. We can
	set up a number of preseed files to handle different type of
	installs if we so desire. Having a small machine act as the
	server is a good idea.

	Maybe it is time we do have a couple of topics for our LUG
	meeting. Setting up a kickstart server, and how to use preseed.

	A few years ago I set-up a new preseed system when I while I
	was working at Google. I have been away from it for a while
	and sorry to say I no longer have access to the document I wrote
	while at Google. I have been thinking about forcing myself to
	once again redo everything I had with preseed.
