Thanks. It looks like I've got something to work with. Another question. I'm also looking at virtual servers. What's the most popular free software for that? === Al ----- Original Message ---- From: Les Mikesell <lesmikesell at gmail.com> To: CentOS mailing list <centos at centos.org> Sent: Saturday, December 2, 2006 8:08:22 PM Subject: Re: [CentOS] Installing CentOS over LAN On Sat, 2006-12-02 at 21:02, Al Sparks wrote: > I want to set up a server that will do network installs of CentOS, > perhaps through NFS. > > Ideally, I'd put a CentOS in the CD of the target computer, I boot > it off of that CD, and then the rest is done over my network and > with the server. > > Has anyone done that and published it? Where can I find docs? If you download the iso images to an NFS exported directory you can burn only the first CD and boot it with 'linux askmethod' at the boot prompt, then select NFS as the install method and fill in the server and path info. Once it starts the install it will take care of all the loopback mounts for you so you don't have to wait around and swap CDs. You can automate even more with a kickstart file, but answering those first few questions doesn't take that long. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
