local.cfg needs to be on a local floppy - this will work even if you boot over the network. however, if you can control your dhcp server, using dhcp to configure your system instead of local.cfg is usually a better solution. > > static IP adresses: > when I installed a node from an golden image with PXE, than all went ok and the > new node has a static ip-adress assigned.
