@mrgrumpymonkey depends...

Next logical step is some #PowerShell script that downloads a #Linux distro image, repartition the system drive, add some unallocated space at the end, put a #CloudInit config in it and then do an #UnattendedInstall of said system with bcd by calling up #bcdedit to #chainload said partition.

  • I jist have neither the time nor spoons to do that shit myself, but in theory a #NetInstaller image of ~ 100MB should suffice...

@smyth But as some versatile #RescueSystem one can blindly let a machine boot into and do basics like SSH into, wipe and/or recover data and #chainload other OSes like an Install ISO from a different drive...

Kinda like the #Foreman #iPXE bootdisk, but better, since it can be used interactively and non-interactively...
