If you boot from a cdrom on the client, do you still need to have pxe setup on the Server? Or is that handled via the bootable cd? I don't really want to run dhcp (but if I have too that's fine) but just have a static IP that I can change post install.

Once the client boots from the cd isn't it pretty much just running rsync to the cleint disks? (after partitioning of course).

I've run into problems with booting from the cdrom, first it was "attempt to access beyond end of device" which I got rid of with some "append" statement.

Now I'm getting "Warning: unable to open an initial console" and wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. I've read the online docs and just discovered the wiki for troubleshooting.

We're running on Redhat ES3 and 4.

Thanks,
-John
