Hi, folks.  We've been kickstart installations via PXE boots for some
time, but we're currently using a Debian host for the tftp/PXE stuff.  I
want to get rid of the Debian system, so I'm trying to set up a similar
arrangement on a system running SL 5.0.

I took a look at TUV documentation for this stuff, e.g.:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-netboot-pxe-config.html

and it says that one way to set this up is to use:

    system-config-netboot

Specifically, it says:

    To use the graphical version of the Network Booting Tool, you
    must be running the X Window System, have root privileges, and
    have the system-config-netboot RPM package installed.

It also discusses a command-line-based approach, but that approach
appears to require tools from the same package.

I can't find any "netboot" RPM package:

    # cat /etc/redhat-release
    Scientific Linux SL release 5.0 (Boron)

    # locate netboot
    #

    # yum list | grep -i netboot
    #

    # yum --enablerepo=* list | grep -i netboot
    #

Can anybody point me to the relevant location for this, and/or provide
me with a crib-sheet for doing the installation some other way?

Thanks.

                                        - Mike
