Re: PXE net install question

[James Dickson <jdickson cimtel net>]

Well.... I guess that is true. However when I setup my pxe environment I
had to define a location for my ks.cfg (usually the same nfs share as my
RedHat binaries) in my /tftp/pxelinux.cfg/default file.It would then
mount and read my  ks.cfg for the install parameters. 
Which included the NFS share of my RedHat binaries.

You can create a ks.cfg file to do the interactive setup from the
keyboard and monitor.
