Folks
On a lark, I am trying to set up a PXE server so I can use network boots to load new computers {some of which are virtual) at home. It's more of an intellectual exercise than a work necessity. I've read several "how to" documents, and even the one on the RedHat site doesn't help. (For example, it refers to /etc/xinet.d instead of /etc/xinetd.d, and the careless references continue elsewhere.)
My goal is to make it possible to load a computer using network boot with the equivalent of the "net-install" of Centos 7. My gateway computer serves as a DHCP and (internal) DNS server for my in-house machines. Are there any good references, or working examples I could look at?
My gateway is running Centos 6, but I'm hoping the model will work when I convert the gateway to Centos 7.
Thanks
David
