----- Original Message ----- | 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. | _______________________________________________ | CentOS mailing list | CentOS@centos.org | http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Add the word interactive to your kickstart as an easy workaround. We also use memdisk with the "iso" option or grub to boot the ISO installation media
