The PXE package that comes with redhat appears to be tailor-made for kickstart/linux - in particular the file: /tftpboot/X86PC/UNDI/BStrap/bstrap.0 But PXE is a lot more useful than just being used for kickstart. It can be used to boot all sorts of boot images, including dos and other linux boot images. It works well for kickstart (although admittedly I haven't used it with rh70 yet). Admittedly it is a weird beast to set up, and the docs aren't quite up to scratch - but the information is there. To add to the URLS... http://developer.intel.com/ial/WfM/tools/pxesdk20linux/index.htm (and other pages close by). What I would like to mention here is that the intel SDK comes with a pxe boot loader image that works with dos. I've had to go to all sorts of lengths to extract that particular file out of the archive .exe file they have available there. Can I ask redhat, please include more with the pxe package so that it is much more useful that just using it with PXE? The dos bootloader file (along with appropriate documentation about it) is one thing that is missing. (We often use dos boot images, which load 16bit packet drivers then the lanman client stuff. That way we can use ghost to clone fat32 installations. I've done this with pxe, floppy boot disks and etherboot, all work great) Cheers Tony -=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=- Tony Nugent <Tony@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Systems Administrator, RHCE GrowZone OnLine - regional internet services for Southern Qld POBox 475 Toowoomba Oueensland Australia 4350 Ph: 07 4637 8322 -=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-
