Heck, I was waiting to see you carry this thing out successfully. 
They've changed everything else for the worse, but I think that the 
/etc/skel directory could contain standard user files for you to 
customize. At least that has been left alone!

Then roll your own install CD or DVD and use that. My GAWD this is a 
trip to the past, but there was a method to remote boot off a networked 
device, like a CD on another host machine and install from there. I 
dimly recall you needed a floppy disc. Can that be done from the bios 
nowadays?? Inquiring minds would like to know. You would think that you 
could make 200 little slave machines off of one server. Clusters run 
like that. Ric
