Hi,
Since it came up, I've done a fair amount of hacking recently to get IPCop to install via PXE. Useful because most of these appliance boxes don't contain a floppy disk drive, and the FD controller is fairly hard to get at even when you open the box up.
Red Hat is easy because they give you PXE capable vmlinuz and initrd.img files (i.e. ones that don't ask for a driver floppy, and that have all of the network drivers bundled). IPCop typically installs off 2 floppies with LILO and ext2 filesystems on them so it took a bit of messing about to get it not to want a floppy disk (or not to grizzle when it didn't get one).
It's a bit of a work in progress but if anyone wants to see what I've done contact me off-list.
