I did not choose to go the DRBL route; it is more than I need, plus I'm constrained to only use "Fedora 14" tools. The major part missing from the documentation is the fact that multiple client directories are needed, and that PXE is going to look for a variety of files (based on ethernet and IP address) in the pxelinux.cfg directory. Verified by looking at network traffic at boot time. - Jon ________________________________________ From: users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Robert Arkiletian [robark@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2011 17:26 To: Community support for Fedora users Subject: Re: Using diskless clients in Fedora 14 On Tue, Sep 20, 2011 at 8:07 AM, Miner, Jonathan W (US SSA) <jonathan.w.miner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > It's been a while since I've done anything with diskless clients. > > I've read and followed the steps Chapter 18 of the "Storage Admin Guide".
