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, -- Patrice Krishnaprasad_K at Dell.com wrote: > > Hello, > > This is regarding a query w.r.t CentOS 5.5 Live CD Bootup from PXE > server.
