I've had success doing NFS kickstarts under rh72 on a tulip-card system using the bootnet.img file as the boot floppy, I've also successfully used an etherboot floppy to download the same image (after running 'mknbi' against it) rather than using a full-up boot floppy. Pretty cool stuff seeing a minimal server install in under 120 seconds. I have another system with no floppy or cdrom, but it has a bios that can be set to boot off the network first, and try the disk second if nobody answers. It's an Intel chipset that tries to PXE boot. How do I configure a kickstart server to get the installation going without any boot media at all (just a dhcp/rh72 server) ? I guess what confuses me is the images/pxeboot directory on the rh72 cdrom. What exactly 'is' that stuff, and why is it packaged as separate kernel+initrd rather than as a pxe-specific bootnet.img variant or the like ? Do I need to assemble my own pxe-bootnet.img file by dropping the images/pxeboot kernel and initrd file into a copy of the provided bootnet.img file then provide that image for the PXE systems ? Google/DejaNews searches turned up nothing at all. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. -- ---------- vince.skahan@xxxxxxxxxx -------------- Connexion by Boeing - Cabin Network
