 At SARA we have developed the following strategy to install a fresh node.
 
- 1. The ip-address in our setup is known for the new node. So we make a link in the ''/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg'' directory to a pxe configuration file which instructs that it has to fetch the kernel and root filesystem from our boot server, eg:  ` 0A000A02 ---> default.node_install (10.0.10.2) `

  1. The client starts and  uses the systemimager/sali software to install the node. The installation script connects to a daemon on the boot server. This daemon will remove the PXE config file/link for this node.
  1. The node reboots and uses the default pxe configuration file. Which will instruct the node to boot from hard-disk.
