No. Provided that all machines are similar, you can do a buildworld on
one server, do a buildkernel for each kernel configuration file on the
one server, and then _only_ do an installworld and installkernel on
each client where the installkernel uses the appropriate 'KERNEL='
setting.

There is no 'reinstall' target for make-worlds.

replies.
