The gPXE bootloader can fetch files from an arbitrary network host using TFTP, NFS, HTTP, etc, but the standard syslinux PXE bootloader cannot. On CentOS 6, the syslinux-nonlinux package includes both. If you specify "filename gpxelinux.0" in your DHCP setup, and ensure that the gpxelinux.0 image is in your tftp root directory, you should be OK. -- Paul Heinlein heinlein at madboa.com 45°38' N, 122°6' W
