What exactly do you want to do w/ PXE? I recently setup a PXE/kickstart server, using a boot loader file from syslinux, and a config file I made myself. Also, I used the kernel/initrd found on the cd, same place where you found yours. I did not use the pxe rpm, just DHCP/tftpd. I'm in the process of writing a how-to to set this up using RHL 9. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE http://geek.j2solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
