In this manner you can do a normal install or a kickstart install without any boot media other than PXE booting. No CD or DVD. Install sytem-config-netboot on the server if it isnt' already. You can do this on your web server or a seperate server This URL may help. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-netboot-pxe-config.html -- Tony Heaton CCN-9 (505)667-9015 Pager (505)996-3184 theaton@xxxxxxxx - "If you do nothing, they'll win"
