No. I saw some mention of cobbler, but I didn't pursue it, as I didn't see any clear description of what it did. I spent some time - maybe 4 hours - trying to get PXEboot to work. But I didn't succeed. The nearest I got ended with the error above. I was rather disappointed with PXEboot. There didn't seem any recent documentation, and much of the documentation there was seemed to me ambiguous, or else it assumed knowledge I didn't have. The PXEboot instructions in the Fedora-8 Installation Guide seemed to me completely useless. I wasn't convinced the person who wrote them had ever actually tried what he was describing. My client laptop, and the tftp server seemed to work perfectly - it was after that, while actually trying to install Fedora-8, that the problems arose. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
