it'll require you however to have the kernel & initrd.img files - you can get those from the distro cd / iso (even jus the network install) and put them somewhere, doesnt matter - just reference those files in the "kernel path" and "initrd path" and it'll work .. e.g. kernel path [ /var/www/html/repo/centos/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz ] initrd path [ /var/www/html/repo/centos/images/pxeboot/initrd.img ] alex On 10/16/2012 09:59 PM, Alex Leonhardt wrote: ok, local path seems to do the trick :) ta!
