Hi, I have been trying to install the os on two computers that won't boot from the install dvd. I have been trying to install using tftp and pxe via lan, but its not working. I think the problem may be that I don't have the dhcp-server set up correctly on this computer, as the client computer isn't getting an ip address when it boots with dhcp.
You should be able to determine that from the /var/log/messages where your dhcp server is running.
Is it possible to help me with setting up the server correctly? I don't know how to do this, really, so you will have to expect some replies that might seem kind of dumb until I learn what to do.
Sure, let us know how far you have gotten.
