Hey All,

We have in our lab 144 new IBM HS-20 Blades running RH 9.  All I need  
to be able to do is to load a OS across the network.  We have looked  
at Xcat, Ghost, and now this, System Imager.  Xcat offers way more  
than we need.  Ghost still requires you to use "floppies" and SI  
seems to be the ticket.
What I was wondering is "specifically" can SI be used for this? (it  
appears to )  What barriers might I come across?  I want static IP's  
but I was reading that I needed to have a DHCP srver running.  What  
do I need to do to allow for static IP's?  Can I make a master image  
that is custom for each system.  Meaning, I dont want to go back to  
each new system I just made and manually change host names, etc.  Is  
there also a how to mini  on the setup specifically for these blades  
we have?  Any help will be very much appreciated.  thanks
