JACAL
A B O U T
Welcome to the JACAL Homepage...
The JACAL Project is a suite of programs, scripts, guidelines, protocols,
documentation, diskettes, etc. that assist in quick, network based loads/builds of machines.
The Process: A single build diskette is placed in the target machine and the machine
is rebooted. The diskette contains a small network based Linux installation that prompts for
the machine name. Build options are then selected and the machine is built automatically from
start to finish. Build options include setting up a multiboot system with Windows NT,
Windows 9X, and/or Linux installed and fully configured for that particular machine's hardware
and network configuration.
The original purpose of this project was to facilitate the complete automatic rebuild of Taylor University's Computer Science (http://www.css.tayloru.edu/) labs complete with 80+ Win NT applications and a full Linux installation on the same machine in an hour. It works very well for us. Hopefully it will be as helpful for you.
This project is a branch of the DEBAR project.
Don't forget to visit the
JACAL development site hosted
on Sourceforge.net.

| Our new web page is live. Thanks to Garrett Goebel for the idea and initial design. A lot of the stuff on this page you can get to from the SourceForge Development page. More important than the new design however is that all the JACAL documentation now online. | |

| Welcome to our project. We have been using this system internally at Taylor Univeristy for over a year now and it has made site administration much easier. This project is NOT ready for public use. I repeat it is not yet ready for public use. It is hardcoded to our internal structure. We are working as we have time to move to a more universal method. We will be releasing parts of the project as time goes on. If you really have a strong interest in this project and can't wait then e-mail me (jabber) and I will send you what I can. Hopefully this project will become very useful to lots of people. | |
