I got some other mails about similar typos, > which I'm fixing up as the mails come in. :-) The problem with PXE booting/diskless/network installs/automated installs i= s=20 that there so many different ways to go about things. I've been kicking=20 around documenting some of this myself for the last 6-12 months. What I'v= e=20 found is my setup evolves every time I impliment it, and I've been loathe t= o=20 write a HOWTO type thing and make people think it's the only way to do=20 things, while the other extreme, a brain dump of everything I know about th= e=20 subject is probably not useful either. Maybe we can collaborate a bit or something. =2D-=20 Thanks, Josh Paetzel PGP: 8A48 EF36 5E9F 4EDA 5A8C 11B4 26F9 01F1 27AF AECB --nextPart1517095.gCrHO0c80m Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHood1JvkB8SevrssRAv/iAJ9kZeANAepeI6YNr9yCdL5PZwQpyACeKX2/ HYSozLAUS4KcIjXUq7x4JqM= =KgTY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1517095.gCrHO0c80m--
