Is it possible to boot the Live CD through PXE? I've tried using Red Hat's PXE setup tool but have been unsuccessful.
Thanks, Kirk Bocek
By the deafening silence to my question I guess this is a Dumb Question (TM).
I can get the kernel on the Live CD to boot via PXE but I'm not sure how to get it to configure a local NIC so you can NFS mount the CD image. All the kernel gives me is a very limited root environment.
I guess the answer is to create a regular diskless boot image and use that. But is there any way to create some sort of generic image that could be booted on a variety of hardware using different NICs?

if you need a setup for system admin / recovery, use the normal distro and boot using the 'rescue' mode - you can get that via any booting mechanism.

Yea, I've done that from the install image without a problem. I was wondering if the Live CD had any additional tools that might be helpful. I can also see scenarios where quickie access to a full Linux desktop could be useful.
