Is PXE kickstart easy to set up? I have a laptop here with DHCP already going. I google and a bunch of stuff comes up but it does not look simple.
system-config-netboot should be able to take care of almost everything for you .. although you will need to add a statement like the following in the subnet statement for your dhcp server:
allow booting; allow bootp; class "pxeclients" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient"; next-server <ip address of tftp server that you ran system-config-netboot on>; filename "linux-install/pxelinux.0"; }
In case you have issues on the client side with pxe booting .. check out some gPXE (formerly Etherboot) howtos at http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/howtos which allow you to boot over http.
Hope this helps, Barry
