    How do I install one Linux image to multiple machines at once?

      pxe net boot

      set up a pxe boot server, set all computers to be imaged to boot over pxe, point them at the server and away you go

          maybe have your pxe boot service on a vlan or something at least.

          at least a decade ago some stuff you wouldn’t expect will just connect up to any old server and accept any old image it’s offering with no authentication or checks whatsoever. it’s annoying when a power outage knocks everything down and some equipment comes up with a different hat on.
