</div></div>Hey Aaron,<br>
<br>
You might not have to use PXE to do a remote install.<br>
<br>
I used to mount a copy of the install .iso file using loopback and then<br>
share it out using NFS. Then all you need to do is boot up the target<br>
system with a network install image, on a USB key, floppy disk, etc...<br>
<br>
When the installer asks for the location of the install media give it<br>
the network address of the .iso image on the NFS server.<br>
<br>
I had several different distributions set up on my FTP server. My<br>
friend would come over and plug into my network and install whatever<br>
flavor he wanted on his laptop that lacked a CD/DVD drive the same way<br>
you have no drive.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Ah right, if the ProLiant has DL140 has a USB drive option then that will be great, many thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Aaron</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
