Find windows notebook and install WTware on it. And write first SD. You may do it somewhere far away from your strictly 100% Linux from server to desktop(s).
Thanks for the reply, but ms software is not available. Nor it is an option to bring in. We are strictly Linux.

WTware SD for PI is a single partition FAT/FAT32 formatted SD with files on it. No bootsector/partition magic. So you can copy it on your 100% Linux.
We'll give etcher a go to see if the Pi3's like it writing that, and the ROM finds the stage 2 file to go forward with the boot process.

I strongly recommend to bring windows notebook with WTware to your 100% Linux environment to look at Configurator when writing configs. Config is a text file and you can write it in 100% Linux text editor, and we have several kilobytes of documentation, but GUI Configurator will help you to understand config syntax and structure.
Thanks, but ms is not an option for us.
I will offers this input in the category of constructive input, that I strongly urge you to detail how to setup, install, and use your software for Linux users like myself. A detailed outline of the options in the text file, variables they take, and their uses.
Basically a good starting example for users to start from in the options that exist
1) Boot from SD card - which is probably the most likely.
Put config.wtc into root of SD card, with options as needed etc..
2) Netboot
3) etc..
Your main audience may be non Linux users, but in my environment there is no MS. The hypervisor for the VM's is provided by a leading VM software,
Thanks again for the reply. I'll see if etcher written will boot this up.
