Thanks to HPA for pointing to the documentation .. we'll be
testing/validating and implementing .. so much more simpler ... doh, I
did not see that earlier ...

would lover to however, I think I oversimplified my explanation, it is
not a single simple script ... it's many parts (some of which I don't
own, the solution basically is between our team - a database
programmer maintains the interactive web interface and pulls info into
the database and python programmer that builds the script ... so it's
not just one script I can forward .. :( ... sorry ... (we're
anticipating to deploy this in an engineering and qa lab for purposes
of testing the various supported OS platforms - functionality not
performance) of a SW we are developing ...
brief summary of the flow:
1. engineer interfaces via web - and selects:
a. number of machines to checkout
b. OS platform
2. upon click2select, the web interface pulls info from mysql database ....
3. calls a script based on selection - script does the updating of
the /pxelinux.cfg/<hw_addr_default> file so that it points/boots to
the right NFS-root and/or this time we will incorporate local boot
.....
hope that helps, it's not as simple as I earlier described .. sorry.
- a.
