    100% ack, had exactly the same thoughts.;)

    Perhaps, he could setup a custom kickstart cd or floppy and
    students would network install their installation, you could
    mount for group A another nfs share keeping their stuff then for
    group B auto-magically. This shouldn't need more then 2-4 minutes
    depending on how much you install, presuming 100 Mbit LAN. There
    are rh docs available about kickstart, forget the fedora docu it
    seems to be more or less non existent?

    Presuming fedora can use kickstart as rh distro?
