| I've got a system (Supermicro P8SCT) that lacks a floppy or CD and
| it's old
| enough that it won't boot from a USB stick. Before I scrounge an
| optical
| drive to plug in, I thought perhaps I could install over the network,
| as I
| see "legacy LAN boot" in the BIOS menu.
|
| The guides for a LAN install I've found all want to do an automated
| kickstart install. Are there any guides that explain how to use eg.
| CentOS-6.0-i386-netinstall.iso for an interactive PXE installation?
|
| I think I understand the DHCP config and I've got tftpd installed on
| my
| CentOS 5 server and see the empty /tftpboot directory. I'm guessing I
| need
| to unpack some of the files in the iso image into /tftpboot in some
| special
| layout and add some files from /usr/lib/syslinux. What's not clear is
| what
| files in the image go where in the tftpboot system, and what the menu
| stanza should look like in the menu file.

Add the word interactive to your kickstart as an easy workaround. We also use memdisk with the "iso" option or grub to boot the ISO installation media
