Craig - how about one better - copy from the tweaked machine to the
clients, with no server involved using two floppy disks?

Check out CloneIT:

(from freshmeat):
About:
The CloneIt system was created to copy and essentially clone harddisks of
identical PCs through a network. This is a common task when installing
server racks or farms or when updating a computer-lab setup where one
deals with identical machines. The system software consists of a Linux
boot floppy and a ramdisk floppy with minimal system utilities that can
perform the task of copying the complete contents of disk devices through
a network.



I have used it once or twice; seems to work fine. Give it a try & see what
you think.
