at the moment our installserver is running quite good. What I don't like is going to every machine as soon a reinstall is necessary. So what do I plan to do:
Why do you need to go to the machine?
I want every client to start up and check whether he needs to be installed or not (best including wake up on lan). Ok this is the main aim and want to realise it step by step.
Thinking of the following: There is one bootp/tftp, dhcp and/or PXE Server running. And for sure the installserver itself. My problem is now. What do I need PXE or only dhcp and tftp.
If you are going to use PXELINUX (Syslinux) then you will always need tftp and dhcp server running on the installation server or somewhere else. (Actually the combination of the three is always needed, nevermind which PXE implementation you need).
And how to set it up. The first aim would be to get a full networkinstall without any boot media.
This already possible and should not be a problem to setup! What exactly do you want to know?
Thanks in advanced for all your suggestions.
cheers frank
