[PLUG] install debian from an image file on server

[Christian Bewley]

Here's the situation:
Many donated newer pc's and laptops need to have linux installed, but I 
would like to have an image of a current perfectly working laptop with 
wifi and all that jazz in perfect working condition first. So, what I 
need to know is:
1. How can I make an image file of the entire drive that can be put on a 
server (running linux) and installed on many pc's?
2. How do I install from the image?
3. do i need a special boot disk to accomplish this?
4. should i make a local repository? Or will the local image be just fine?
