I've got a system (Supermicro P8SCT) that lacks a floppy or CD and it's old enough that it won't boot from a USB stick. Before I scrounge an optical drive to plug in, I thought perhaps I could install over the network, as I see "legacy LAN boot" in the BIOS menu.
The guides for a LAN install I've found all want to do an automated kickstart install. Are there any guides that explain how to use eg. CentOS-6.0-i386-netinstall.iso for an interactive PXE installation?
I think I understand the DHCP config and I've got tftpd installed on my CentOS 5 server and see the empty /tftpboot directory. I'm guessing I need to unpack some of the files in the iso image into /tftpboot in some special layout and add some files from /usr/lib/syslinux. What's not clear is what files in the image go where in the tftpboot system, and what the menu stanza should look like in the menu file.
