Don't know which documentation you're talking about, but I'll explain how my PXE setup works. >What I'm trying to do, is boot a PXE client, and install from it on >monitor and keyboard. I have RedHat 7.3 on the PXE server, along with >disk 1 and disk 2 exported via nfs. My main question is, do I have to >have kickstart files in place as well? Do you want to kickstart? Or do you want to interactively answer all the anaconda prompts (partitions/packages/etc.)? You don't *need* to kickstart - PXE just replaces the floppy or CD as the place to load the first stage from. My dhcpd.conf: next-server 1.2.3.4; filename "/tftpboot/pxelinux.bin"; My /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default: serial 0,9600 default ks prompt 1 timeout 30 label text kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img text devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 label expert kernel vmlinuz append expert initrd=initrd.img devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 label ks kernel vmlinuz append ks=nfs:1.2.3.4:/nfsdir initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 You'd probably want to use "default text".
