Maybe my ignorance... OK this command MaKes a tagged Network Boot Image (mknbi ;-) from a linux kernel and an initial ramdisk so you can give it a TFTP server to serv with it and clients can boot a linux kernel over the network. OK, I have worked at night to make our website to this stuff also available in english.

Ok we don't have tested the redhat 7.0 distribution at any time. But I think you can use the kernel and initial ramdisk from the images/pxeboot path. Then the command should looks like mknbi-linux $KSINSTROOT/ks-cd-img-7.0/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz \ $KSINSTROOT/ks-cd-img-7.0/images/pxeboot/initrd.img \ --append="ks=nfs:192.168.250.253:$KSINSTROOT/ks-roots/ " \ > linux-6.2.nbi.192.168.250.253 or if I readed the "RH reference guide" correctly and all (BOOTP/DHCP, TFTP and NFS) is on the same machine then the command mknbi-linux $KSINSTROOT/ks-cd-img-7.0/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz \ $KSINSTROOT/ks-cd-img-7.0/images/pxeboot/initrd.img \ --append="ks" > linux-6.2.nbi.192.168.250.253 will do enough. But that was not tested by me :(. best regards mike -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- email: Mike.Becher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~mibe mail: TU Chemnitz, URZ, Str. d.
