If I had to criticize it, I would say that it is _too_ informative. Maybe you could consider a parallel Quick Guide, just listing the actions to take, 1,2,3,... But as far as I can see, I followed the strategy you suggest, which I've used for many versions of Fedora, as well as CentOS-5.6. But it didn't work for CentOS-6.0. The machine booted fine, but hung (IIRC) at "waiting for hardware to initialize..." Unfortunately I didn't take proper notes of what I tried; as I mentioned, I installed from a USB stick in the end. But I thought afterwards I'd ask if anyone had actually succeeded in installing CentOS-6.0 by PXEboot. Someone asked why I didn't send my query to the CentOS mailing list. The answer is that I meant to, but clicked on the wrong line ... In other words, a slip of the mouse. I could invent the excuse that I was using a Fedora machine as PXE server, which is true but irrelevant. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
