Hi, I have a freebsd 5.4 server with tftpd, nfsd and dhcpd support. I want to initiate pxe installation of CentOS Linux on some of the machines on my network from my freebsd box. I have the CentOS's pxe-kernel and pxe-initrd files. I have also compiled freebsd's pxeboot file from the sources and placed it in /usr/tftpboot/. Can someone please guide me through the steps I need to take to get CentOS to boot via pxe from my box and install from an NFS-exported directory containing the whole CentOS distribution ? Thanks for any help. Manish Jain ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
