Has anyone succeeded in installing CentOS-6.0 by PXEboot.

Yep. Several times, in fact.

If so, would you say how you did it, please. I tried (on an HP MicroServer), but gave up in the end and used a USB stick installation instead. But I'd be very interested to know how to do it, for the future.

I really just followed my procedure for netbooting CentOS 5, but changed the directory paths.

0. Set up local http mirror of CentOS 6 1. Set up tftp server; make CentOS 6 pxe kernel and initrd.img available 2. Use PXE menu to point to right kernel, initrd.img, and boot options 3. Set up DHCP server to point to the correct next-server and filename
