Jason: I definitely look forward to reading your mini-howto on this subject. On a related subject, have you or anyone used wake-on-lan feature of most modern NIC cards/motherboards ? I have downloaded a couple of tiny utils from net to do this, but I have never been able to cause any machines to start up. I have tried Dell Optplex-GX300, VA Linux 2200 (using Intel 440GL MB). If anyone have succeeded using wake-on-lan under Linux, what tools do you use and what are the requirements?

I was in the process of writing up a mini-howto, since I just did this. Unfortunately the floods here in Houston have shut down all of our operations, but I can still remember most of it if you have specific questions.

DS> The dhcp discovery phase is working, but then the tftp just hangs... If you're using pxelinux, it will try to retrieve the image using a whole bunch of names. All but the last will fail, but xinetd will shut down the tftp server because it is looping. You must alter the /etc/init.d/xinetd file to start xinetd with something like "-loop 100" to shut this off. - J< _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
