Re: using the isolinux from rh9 to install rh7.3?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



PXE isn't an option in my environment. I prefer keeping everything on an
NFS server and booting off the network. My interest is in rolling all the
drivers needed for the hardware we use into a single bootable kickstart
CD. Can this be done? 

I don't care for the drvnet.img files etc. in
RH7.3. In looking at RH9 it appears as though they've done away with the
drvnet.img, so i'm assuming it has been rolled into the isolinux CD, but
it doesn't seem to work for RH7.3.
