I've been trying to find out how to solve this for quite a while now and finally I ended up here hoping to get some help!

I have a USB-drive which is working well, but I would like to use that image on the network instead and was wondering if that's possible with some neat boot options. Can I set up a TFTP server hosting that image and install it over the network the same way is I would do with the USB-drive?

Yes. There are many ways to do it but I would recommend to have a look at the FOG Project.

The basic steps would be:

  • Create a FOG server (I use a Virtualbox)
  • Install a machine with your USB
  • Add that machine as a host to FOG
  • Change the machine BIOS to boot from the network.
  • Upload the image (creates an image of the machine in FOG)
  • Add any other machines you want to install as FOG hosts and set them up to boot from the network.
  • Create tasks to download your image to those hosts.
