Once upon a time, Jerry Williams <jwilliam@xxxxxxxxxxxx> said: > But you do need all 3 files vmlinuz, initrd.img, & pxelinux.0 > The vmlinuz & initrd.img aren't any good without pxelinux.0. And pxelinux.0 isn't any good without a TFTP server and a pxelinux.cfg directory with proper config file(s). However, one pxelinux.0 is all you need, while you may have many vmlinuz and initrd.img pairs booting. I can boot RHEL 3, RHEL 4, FC 6, and rawhide (all i386 or x86_64) from my boot server; I only need one pxelinux.0 for that (and I use the most up to date version, not the one that came with RHEL 3). The vmlinuz and initrd.img are a matched pair; any pxelinux.0 (that works with your client computer) will work to boot them. If it would only boot with the matched pxelinux.0, there'd be reason to include it. > 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 You run it one time and then you have it, while you may replace/add vmlinuz and initrd.img regularly. It doesn't need to be bundled. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
