What I want to do is : (1) remotely reboot a computer. (2) have the first boot, partion hard drive. (3) have the second reboot, continue the unattended installation. (4) have a system that will then change automatically "unattended" (in some way) to boot straight of the hard drive. If I change the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/(file), or change the IP address handed out with dhcp(so pxelinux points to a different (file) like "C0A8002A for example", I think? I still need a way to change one of (dhcp or tftp) with the installation? Or I would have to manually go to the computer to start the installation, or manually change the (dhcp or tftp config) mid installation! My wish is a system that is completely unattended ;-) Thanks anyway I never thought about dhcp. If anyone has any other ideas about this?
