Many of the servers I use have IPMI, which allows me to have it boot a remote DVD device with an ISO or a real DVD drive. Due to certain bugs[1], I've increasingly relied on the DVD vs netinstall. From the system's perspective, it's a regular DVD startup, just like with VMs. [1]: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1228897 -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
