Hi, 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: 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. And how to set it up. The first aim would be to get a full networkinstall without any boot media. Thanks in advanced for all your suggestions. cheers frank +----------------------------------------------------------+ | Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie | | Abt.1 (wissenschaftliche DV) | | | | Frank Pascher | +----------------------------------------------------------+ | Auf dem Huegel 69 Tel.: +49 (228) 525 359 | | 53121 Bonn Fax.: +49 (228) 535 229 | +----------------------------------------------------------+ | Email: mailto:fpascher@mpifr-bonn.mpg.de | | WWW: http://www.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de | | PGP Fingerprint: 13D1 8C86 57B3 2850 F158 4879 E5F3 7E20 | +----------------------------------------------------------+
