Hi, Brett. You're correct about the naming convention. I didn't mention that we have symbolic links set up to point to the "netboot" file I mentioned in the original message. For instance: [root@ucd-host pxelinux.cfg]# ls -l default lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jul 13 16:46 default -> netboot-ks.SL.3.0.1 Thanks. - Mike -- Michael Hannon mailto:[log in to unmask] Dept. of Physics 530.752.4966 University of California 530.752.4717 FAX Davis, CA 95616-8677
