[CentOS-devel] PXE Boot CentOS 5.5 Live CD

Hi Krishnaprasad,

I saw your post about the same topic on the CentOS forum. When you 
encounter bugs about the CentOS LiveCD, the preferred way to report them 
is via a ticket on the CentOS LiveCD website 
(https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd). Could you create a ticket 
there please?

Thanks,
