RE: Diskless Network Kickstart?

Thanks for the link.  I still don't have this working, but I've come across
a couple pages that may be useful to others trying to create a PXE
network-booting kickstart install:

http://www.naos.co.nz/papers/diskless/index2.html
http://fscked.org/writings/clusters/pxelinux.txt

Does anyone have this actually setup and working?  If so, did you use the
Intel PXE server?  Did you use DHCP 2 or 3?  Could you post your conf files?
Thanks!
