Here's a short summary: in /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf have e.g.: subnet 172.16.254.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range dynamic-bootp 172.16.254.10 172.16.254.26; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option broadcast-address 172.16.254.255; option routers 172.16.254.2; option domain-name-servers 172.16.254.2; option domain-name "yourdomain.tld."; filename "pxelinux.0"; } (adjust this to your needs) in /var/lib/tftpboot (or where ever your tftpboot dir is) have: bzImage initrd pxelinux.0 in subdirectory pxelinux.cfg have default cat pxelinux.cfg/default - ------------------------------------------ DEFAULT local localboot 0 label install kernel bzImage append initrd=initrd z_path=//yourservernamehere/install kbd=yourkeyboardhere z_user=yourusernamehere z_pass=yourpasswdhere label local localboot 0 - ------------------------------------------ ("append ... yourpasswdhere" all on one line) You get these and all other needed files e.g. the precompiled kernel from here (see bottom): http://ubertechnique.com/unattended/NTLDRNotFound It's a bit strange, but this http://www.smi-softmark.de/unattendedcvs/unattended-cvs.tar.gz contains the install share and here http://www.smi-softmark.de/unattendedcvs/unattended-cvs-2.6.17.tar.bz2 is a newer Kernel and it's linuxaux directory, which you should replace. For your convenience I've uploaded the missing pxefiles pxefiles.tar.bz2 so you should have all you need. If you are unsure, drop me a mail.
