Talk:PXE Booting Linux from Microsoft RIS

Very useful and helpful information. The missing link between traditional TFTPD and RIS.

--Chris 12:06, 20 October 2006 (EDT) I decided to put this down on something since I had a hard time finding a good solution for this.

I tested the Fedora Core 6. The method work well for RIS. However, I am looking for unattended RIS. Do you know how to make the answer file to be unattended?

--Chris 19:20, 1 November 2006 (EST) Actually, I don't know. If you find the answer please post it. Sorry, I'm not of much help there. Thanks.

Can you also explain how to do the Windows 98 too?

--Chris 09:01, 2 November 2006 (EST) Honestly I haven't touched Windows 98 since 2000.

Fedora 5 on W2K3

Hi John. Did you look at the main article? PXE_Booting_Linux_from_Microsoft_RIS I may have missed your question. - Chris

To boot linux from win ris unattendly. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=93019&st=0#entry625993

That is really a great idea. If I get time, I will add it to the front page (unless anyone else would like to try) and give you credit of course. - Chris

Problem after selection of Centos Installation
Hello Chris,

I do have a very starnge problem (as usual they're strange). I followed the steps you described in your "tuto" but at the end of the process when I select the appropriate "Tools", the computer is holding with a failure message : "Failed to Reboot"... Do you have any idea why this can happen?

By the way many thanks for your document, it helped me a lot to get 1 step further... ;)

Greets,

Cédric
