I would happily skip the DHCP stuff, but the kernel seems to ignore the hostip= option, even though it is documented in the SUSE docs for PXE installs...
you need at least hostip=... and netmask=...
or use hostip=a.b.c.d/<networkbits>. If you're unhappy with the dhcp client, bootp is available, too (via usedhcp=0).
(Reminder of my original question: does the YasT install server setup code in OpenSUSE 10.0 work, or is an update needed?) I am quite happy with dhcp. I use it all the time. In fact, it is doing the first part of this just fine - that is how the SUSE install kernel gets started. But something does wrong. No matter. At this time, I am also happy with using fixed addresses in the pxelinux config files. After adding the required netmask= option, I see that the DHCP question does not get asked. But it still does not find the install source ("unknown error -1"). The directory is, as I described earlier, made by YasT, containing all the CDs. As a reminder, it has these files/directories, as placed there by YasT. ls /vol1/distro/OpenSUSE10.0/suse10.0: ARCHIVES.gz autorun.inf boot ChangeLog content control.xml COPYING COPYING.de COPYRIGHT COPYRIGHT.de directory.yast docu dosutils gpg-pubkey-0dfb3188-41ed929b.asc gpg-pubkey-15c17deb-3f9e80c9.asc gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc gpg-pubkey-9c800aca-40d8063e.asc INDEX.gz LICENSE.TXT LIESMICH LIESMICH.DOS ls-lR.gz media.1 media.2 media.3 media.4 media.5 pubring.gpg README README.DOS suse SuSEgo.ico My spec is: install=nfs://192.30.105.201/vol1/distro/OpenSUSE10.0/suse10.0 I can ping the client from 192.30.105.201, so I know they are on the same network and active.
