Anyboby tried this before? I'm not too sure. When I did it, everything was in 1 host. but I think that this can be done this way.. 1. NFS mounts can be in another host since you can use either kickstart to script it or mount it manually. 2. The boot image is supposed to be provided in /tftpboot. However, I would think that you can put a nfs mount pointing to the Boot Image too. But as far as telling the Client to actually fetch it from the other server, I'm not sure if that can be done. Nothing I've read has suggested it made that way. Mind if I ask you how come you want it that way?? See here for some general instructions on how I did it. http://www.livejournal.com/users/lotso/1863.html -- Ow Mun Heng Fedora GNU/Linux Core 2 on D600 1.4Ghz CPU kernel 2.6.7-2.jul1-interactive Neuromancer 04:59:38 up 8:42, 5 users, load average: 1.27, 1.26, 1.14
