In my experience, you need to use pxe-linux for this.
1.install and compile syslinux on your pxe server.
2. cp pxelinux.o /tftpboot/X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/.
3. edit /etc/pxe.conf to use pxelinux image instead of image that ships
w/pxe
# Image file name for Linux install boot server type
# format : <min layer #> <max layer #> <base file name>
[X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/ImageFile_Name]
0
3
#linux
pxelinux
4. Set up pxelinux config files
mkdir /tftpboot/X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/pxelinux.cfg
create install files
example file:
default linux
label linux
kernel vmlinuz-7.3
append ksdevice=eth0 load_ramdisk=1 initrd=initrd-7.3.img network
ks=nfs:serverL/path-to-ks.files
name this file something like rh_73.install.
5. create a symlink from the rh_73.install file that is named w/ the hex
equiv of the ip address of the machine you want to pxe-kickstart.
(use the gethostip program that comes w/ syslinux if you need help)
6. From the redhat install images copy the pxe images to your tftp server
cp /somepath/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
/tftpboot/X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/vmlinuz-7.3
cp /somepath/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
/tftpboot/X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/initrd-7.3.img
this way you can have many versions installed at once, and what boot's
what is controlled by config file.

No, this again is NOT possible.
Everything is working fine - Client gets the IP
address from Windows DHCP, boots up from the PXE
server and finds the tftp server as well but how do I
implement the ks.cfg for making this a completely
unattended installation.

Can't you wire up another network? I'm doubtful
about getting it working
with Windows getting in the way.
Many thanks for this response.. Is there any other
clue.

Several outlines about -- this one works great

Dump the Windows dhcp server during testing from
the
network
segment during testing -- it is
'semi-functional'
for these
purposes.
