The new file server might though) unlucky for you. we require that our hardware be PXE boot capable. Mostly that involves just putting in a Intel network card, but since most our systemboards have intel chips built in, PXE is happening all over the place. I recently created a PXE/Kickstart server, complete w/ a menu that the install tech is presented w/ upon PXE boot, so all they have to type is the type of kickstart they want to perform. "rm" for rackmount server, "ws" for workstation, "small" for tiny partitions spread across the disks, and small install, only enough to run ctcs burnin. If they type nothing for 30 seconds, it'll default to "local" which has the system boot off the local harddrive. It's a very slick system. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE http://geek.j2solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (http://www.microwerks.net/~hugo/) Was I helpful? Let others know: http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r
