v95 v96 9 9 - [https://surfsara.nl/systems/shared/archive-file-system Central Archive] 10 10 11 SURFsara formerly used SystemImager for automatic installation of our machines. Due to new hardware we needed more up to date drivers and GRUB2 support. We thought this could be easily added, but during this process we decided to upgrade all software to the newest levels and replace some software components. The biggest hurdle was detecting of which hardware is in the system ([http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev.html udev]). We believe that SALI is better in detecting which hardware is available in the system than SystemImager.11 SURFsara formerly used [http://systemimager.org/ SystemImager] for automatic installation of our machines.

To avoid kernel panics. 16 - Support for more installation protocols such as ftp, http, bittorrent 16 17 17 18 == Documentation ==
