Hi all,
Probably a simple question, but, I'd like to merge both install DVDs into one directory on my PXE server. Obviously I will need to copy all of the files, but do I need to cast a magical incantation to recreate .discinfo, .treeinfo, etc?
If all you want to do is create a PXE server that can be used to install using NFS, you just need the DVD (or CD) .iso files in some NFS exported (read-only!) directory. Loopback mount the first DVD/CD and copy the image froms from images/pxeboot to /tftpboot and put entries in /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default, and the right 'magic' in /etc/dhcpd.conf and you are good to go.
the .iso files on the nfs ? I thought you put all the files IN the iso
personally, when I do PXE, I use a http style install off a local copy of the repository. Its been a little while since i set it up, but IIRC, there's some mojo you put in the kickstart file on the tftproot to tell it what install type you want (nfs vs http vs whatever)
