Nice to know all these.
some more things i will love to know.I have kept my distribution into
some directory on sdb2 and given the path to that.
But it says not ISO found. is this due to wrong ISO?
Why and how is this being cheked ? Can I crack it ? how ? ....
This would help me making my own installer for my own distro isnt it ????
THanxs again guys,

That's all I'm aware of. Fortunately, in our environment, we are able
to request STP be turned off (or rather, portfast is turned on), so I
haven't had the need to debug these options....

The NIC is cycled 3 times, the first is during the PXEBoot process,

Every time, the system reloads the drivers. This allows using
different NIC's or different IP's for different purposes if necessary.
Good to know. Thanks.
It is an incredible annoyance when you have to deal with spanning
tree, but there have been options added in later versions that allow
delays to compensate for this.

I've been trying to get this to work on a RHEL4 U4 system on a switch
with Spanning Tree enabled. Even with long delays I am unable to get
pump to get an IP address. I don't understand how, when the system is
installed, ISC's dhcp client is able to get an IP no problem (after a
delay of course).
Would be interested to see typical nicdelay and linksleep settings used
by posters on this list to work around STP.
Unfortunately, it's a bit of a process to convince the network admins to
shut STP off on switchports to which no switches are attached. :)
