There's another trick I intend to try, next time I install a new version
on my other machine. We all know that you can control the installation
remotely by booting "linux vnc" and that you can export the iso file(s)
by booting linux "askmethod". I'm wondering if the two can be combined.
Along the same lines, there was another thread here just a few days ago
that found someone in the UK confronted with finding an idiot-proof
method for loading a system here in the US. I think that if I were in
that situation commercially (which a number of people here are) or quite
a bit younger (which damn near everyone on this list is :(), I would
look into a hardware solution built around a watchdog timer and
bootstrap in ROM on a PCI card.
