Subject: [Hampshire] Install USB drive
Hi,

I'm trying to set up my USB hard drive with a separate partition on
that I can use it as an install media for various Linux os's.

So for example the system will boot from the USB drive, and present
you with the familier Linux install menu, and then the user can select
to install fedora 11, rhel5, ununtu 8 etc etc, and the install takes
off as normal as if you had a CDROM instead.

I have made progress with one os or another but not together.
I wondered if there were any links you kind peeps knew of that
explained this setup.

I hope to eventually expand on this and have a pxe boot server on a
dedicated vlan which can do the job of the USB drive.

Hope I have made sense.

Thanks for your help,
Keir
