Hi John,
We have an existing pxe server that runs and a dhcp
server. I have 2 questions
1. How do i do network boot having the two existing
pre-servers
2.I have created an autoinstallcd but it continues to
connect to the dhcp server at port 67 to retrieve the
image. I am not allowed to get to the dhcp server,how
do i make d script connect directly to the imageserver
for the new image and not the dhcp
