PXE boot disks

[MW Mike Weiner (5028)]

As an addendum, here's a link to a PXE installHOWTO. I haven't tried it,
so I don't know how accurate the writeup is.

Thanks for the response, and I agree, I don't think there is - but a few
resource pages I was looking at was talking about a PXE boot disk, which
I have no idea what exactly they are talking about. What I was going to
do was to possibly use the boot.img and ks to point to a yum repo/fc
install repo but started thinking about PXE as a nice means of doing
that instead. I will check the link you sent.

Thanks again.
