I can tell you for sure it is not 100% correct. I once set it up as an experiment. I got it to work but it took some tinkering. > How does it differ from using a DHCP server? If you have control over the DHCP server that is the better way to go. Using dhcp is much easier to configure and get working. I would only suggest the pxe package if you do not have control of the dhcp server. In fact pxe has been dropped from FC1 but is still included in RHEL 3. HTH, .............Tom
