The trick you're looking for is in the pc's bios that you're going to install. For example ibm thinkcentre s50 desktop pcs know two boot orders: standard and automatic bootup. The automatic bootup order is used if the system has been woken up over lan. Else it uses standard boot order. regards Thomas -- GLS IT Services Thomas Mieslinger GLS Germany Str. 1-7 fon: +49 6677 17 463 36286 Neuenstein fax: +49 6677 17 111 Germany eMail: thomas.mieslinger@gls-itservices.com Roger Oberholtzer <roger@opq.se> schrieb am 14.02.2006 12:53:39:
Has anyone done a network install of SUSE when the client is started with wake-on-lan? Is this even possible?
The reason I ask is I am unsure how you disable a machine from being installed each time it boots. Do you have to turn on/off PXE (or whatever you're using) in the BIOS when you want to change behavior? Or modify the dhcp server's setup? I guess either would work. What are people doing in practice?
