Yes, I had the install wipe the hard drive clean and install everything. I did that twice with no luck, other than copying the Ver 5 PXE files. Maybe I need to re-download the iso's again and redo my cd's. --- Original Message ---- From: peter@scheie.homedns.org To: k12osn@redhat.com Subject: Re: [K12OSN] PXE Files missing in Version 6 Sent: Saturday, March 17, 2007 5:34:39 PM EDT I'm not sure what went wrong during your installation of 6, but you should not be having those problems. I've got two version 6 boxes, and PXE boot clients work right out of the box, as do etherboot clients. When you install ver. 6, are you wiping the disk and doing a clean install?
