Hello,
I've got a machine i'd like to put CentOS 4.4 on. Unfortunately this
machine doesn't have a rom in it, just a floppy and a network card. I was
wondering if i could boot it, then have it pick up what it needs to start the
install off the network and do an unattended install vi nfs? Or, if that's
not possible would it be possible to boot and load CentOS completely from the
network bypassing the hard disk altogether? I don't need x on this box, in
fact it doesn't have a monitor, most of the work it will do will be via ssh,
or unattended stuff.
Thanks.
Dave.
I believe CentOS 3 was the last version of CentOS that included a boot
floppy. IIRC, the issue is that the newer kernels (with other required
components) are too large to fit on a floppy.
