Hi, folks. We've been kickstart installations via PXE boots for some
time, but we're currently using a Debian host for the tftp/PXE stuff. I
want to get rid of the Debian system, so I'm trying to set up a similar
arrangement on a system running SL 5.0.
I took a look at TUV documentation for this stuff, e.g.:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-netboot-pxe-config.html
and it says that one way to set this up is to use:
system-config-netboot
Specifically, it says:
To use the graphical version of the Network Booting Tool, you
must be running the X Window System, have root privileges, and
have the system-config-netboot RPM package installed.
It also discusses a command-line-based approach, but that approach
appears to require tools from the same package.
I can't find any "netboot" RPM package:
# cat /etc/redhat-release
Scientific Linux SL release 5.0 (Boron)
# locate netboot
#
# yum list | grep -i netboot
#
# yum --enablerepo=* list | grep -i netboot
#
Can anybody point me to the relevant location for this, and/or provide
me with a crib-sheet for doing the installation some other way?
Thanks.
- Mike
