Hi there, Installing 7.0 via PXE has a slight problem that is easily worked around. The file /boot/mfsroot.gz on the installation media needs to be unzipped to make PXE boot via tftp/nfs work. Otherwise the loader ultimately complains that it cant find the device to boot from. For example, if you have the installation media living at /usr/pxe/nfs/ on the PXE server, then do: gzip -d /usr/pxe/nfs/boot/mfsroot.gz After doing this it now loads the kernel and starts the installation procedure as expected. Someone more knowledgeable than me might want to let whoever needs to know about this. Apart from that, it looks great, the work is appreciated, thanks for the new release :-) Cheers, Tim.
