No, no reason other than convenience. This particular box is an older SuperMicro H8DME-2 board with a pair of quad-core Opterons. I'll make another run at it today and tomorrow. I'll first attempt a PXE boot from an existing Arch server attempting to serve the install .iso mounted loop via tftpd. My only quandary there is whether to symlink the lpxelinux.0 contained in the install to /srv/tftp/pxelinux.0, or whether the use the example style /srv/tftp/arch.menu discussed at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PXE#Existing_PXE_Server (my PXE setup is only for the install.iso, so I was intending to link /archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/lpxelinux.0 /srv/tftp/pxelinux.0, but am unsure if that will serve the install iso as intended) We'll see how that goes. Failing that, I'll write the iso to USB and try that way and report back. Thanks Mauro. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
