Hi,
I set up an internal dhcp server and a tftp server so we at the company can install Fedora Core 1 from an NFS exported directory and then I also set up a diskless boot service exactly following the on screen instructions that redhat-config-netboot wrote.
However, the initrd image that redhat-config-netboot installed for the diskless boot lacked one very important file: /sbin/busybox and this caused the diskless machines fail to boot. After copying the busybox executable into the initrd image it started working.
Then I found PXES ( http://pxes.sourceforge.net ) and installed it. It requires much less memory on the diskless clients... I found that the GNOME logout dialog on the diskless clients also offer the shutdown and reboot options, which it shouldn't. The XDMCP clients aren't at the main machine console, after all.
