[Klug-general] Help with Ubuntu network install

I've been using Clonezilla to install Xubuntu on a network of crusty
old Dells, using a USB stick. However, methinks a network install
would be quicker & easier.

Does anyone have any experience of this? It _appears_ as though I
require the Server Edition although there is a network boot option on
the Live version.

If I do go down the Server Edition route, this requires a DRBL
(Diskless Remote Boot in Linux) server
http://drbl.sourceforge.net/one4all/ . And that looks like an awful
lot of headache. Is there an easier route?

many thanks in advancement, Jake
