[ale] If you must restore a windows computer, how do you make it better?

[Jeff Lightner]

Dell also has a deployment CD that can be used to start the install of
RHEL but since it only recognizes specific RHEL install media we never
use it here.  We just install straight from the RHEL install media which
does not load Windows at all.

Avaya has a custom kickstart setup. you take the Avaya custom CD, insert
into 
a running Windows box. It autostarts the kickstart program.. you
fill-in-the 
blanks, and it creates a kickstart floppy or file, that you can use to
add to 
the redhat CD #1, or kickstart using a floppy.
