PXE boot???? Set up a PXE server? And that has to be on the local

But then I have avoided PXE boot for a decade or more for the above
reasons.
PXE boot is so nice. It has been my primary install method for
years except for annoying laptops that lack an ethernet port. Set
up a kickstart file and you have a fast, consistent, and hands-off
install.
I remember doing that. Was it Centos 4 and Fedora 10? I did it, and
am happy I am not anymore.
That was a long time ago, I would suggest looking at it again. I do
both UEFI and legacy installs this way. How do you do bulk installs
or do you just do them individually?
That is the thing. I am really out of the bulk install work. What
little I do these days is for armv7, and right now, for Centos7 and
Fedora-whatever, it is dd the image to your boot media, install boot
media and go.
Back then I had a dozen systems I was managing. I was able to replace
them all with armv7 and save a bunch on the electric bill. First with
RedSleeve6 and Fedora 20. Now with Centos7 and current Fedora.
And fewer systems as well.
Perhaps when I retire, I will go back to it, redevelop the skillset and
market myself as a datacenter support being.
