Is it only supported by Anaconda program? Kickstart and Anaconda are specific to RHL. There are other ways of getting Linux to computers over a LAN. Booting & running a system over a LAN is one - see the kernel docs for pointers. You _could_ have a small system you run that way that installs to its host. You could also make a similar system that boots from CD and does similar things. Bero's rescue CD is an example of how it can be done. I think you will find a few more at freshmeat. -- Cheers John.
