I think that the instructions are telling pxelinux.0 to boot then go to the local net.
No, the next-server directive gives the host name of the server running tftp. That is where the pxelinux.0 file is hosted Per is living on the edge by using .local as a domain, which is really a reserved name for zeroconf and shouldn't be used outside such an environment. Use whatever the hostname of your tftp server is
How do I find the address of the local net?
Then I think that it is telling it to go to the host server, how do I exactly find the mac and ip addresses for it on the local net?
The host directive is a static IP handed out by the dhcp server to the machine with a network card with that ethernet address. It is not the server but the machine being installed Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
