PXE boot server help needed

[Roger Oberholtzer]

Isn't it a matter of setting up DHCP to point to some tftp location,
where you have the RH files? Perhaps if RH have not wrapped the kernel
image used when booting an install, you may need to look at MKNBI. It
wraps a kernel in a format a PXE client expects. I have done this for
some Gentoo diskless systems.

You can also make a pxegrub that DHCP can serve to the PXE client, and
have a nice menu where the user could select installing, booting or
whatever. In this case, the PXE client boots GRUB over the net and GRUB
runs whatever. Then you can skip the MKNBI wrapper stuff- which is a
PITA.

An interesting site for any client side stuff is: 

http://www.rom-o-matic.net/5.4.0

to get boot images. This allows you to make a computer without PXE
support in the network card BIOS do PXE.
