Description W Agtail 2005-08-30 13:22:01 UTC
Hi

Would it be possilble to add a new option to pxeos?
I would like to point to a DVD iso image stored on disk, e.g:

> pxeos -a -i "FC4" -p NFS -D 0 -s 192.168.0.20 -L \
/scratch/ISOs/Linux/FC4/i386/FC4-i386-DVD.iso fc4

You must enter directory of the Operating System Software
This directory must include the images/pxeboot directories
Error Mounting: mount: Not a directory

This would be a convenient way to copy out the images/pxeboot files from the ISO
image. 

Would also fit nicely with the NFS Kickstart installs process that allows one to
install from an ISO.

many thanks
W Agtail

This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd.

Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and
either update the target product or close it ?

Thanks.

Hi, I had actualy 4gotten about this one.
The work around I have is to manually config PXE which is workong out fine.
Closing this one out - thanks.
