Im wondering if someone can assist me.

 

Im looking into building a machine that will allow me to boot other machines
off the network and install operating systems from say iso files.

 

 

Ive looked around and many require special images and a list of procedures
longer than my groceries list!

Windows Server 2003 has something built in but is ONLY for windows and
requires all sorts of special images.

 

 

 

What I want to do is simple..

 

Have a folder of my most common installed OS's in ISO form, have a BSD box
with pxe menu to select ISO and let it install like normal.

 

Is this possible? Advise?
