I'd expect something like filename "pxelinux.0" if I put pxelinux.0 in /tftpboot > > As far as I understood the FAQ and HOWTOs correctly, you can use for > > pxelinux the standard dhcp server but you have to switch to a different > > tftp-server - correct? > > I've used the default tftp server in 7.2, but I've not tried using > 7.3.

What I don't understand here - with the kernel and the initrd form /images/pxeboot I'll be able performing an installation on my pxeserver. What about pxelinux? I assume, that I have to build a Linux system from scratch - that's what I read in the HOWTOs I've found. Is that correct?
