isn't acceptable to us. well, i guess it could be acceptable if it could be built in to a pxe boot setup, but so far i haven't found any docs to even let me understand how hard/easy that might be.
Just make a new kernel and initrd image with the patches and drivers you need, and ditto on the installed RPMs. I have done it for CD-ROM installs when I needed new drivers, the procedure is the same with PXE. I just googled back then, but don't have to docs for it here.
does v5 support any of these boards better?
Yes, the 2.6.18 kernel got support new hardware.
