Or anything else along those lines. But you do need all 3 files vmlinuz, initrd.img, & pxelinux.0 The vmlinuz & initrd.img aren't any good without pxelinux.0. Or am I not understanding something? It's just kind of a pain to run: rpm2cpio syslinux-3.31-2.i386.rpm |cpio -iv --make-directories ./usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0 Why don't you just make people do mount -o loop boot.iso /media and copy off vmlinuz and initrd.img then?
