Thanks for the clarification. I'm still a bit confused though. On the RH
9 CDs, the pxeboot dir contains initrd.img and vmlinuz. The initrd.img has
all the modules I require. If I 'dd' only the initrd.img to my USB flash
drive, the computer won't boot off it - the computer boots up as normal.
What else do I need to 'dd' to the flash drive? Where do my syslinux.cfg
and boot.msg files go when utilizing the pxe boot image?

My point wasn't to do pxe installs, it was that the pxe boot image is an
oversized floppy image that is basically a combination of the
bootdisk.img and drvnet.img, stick it on your usb drive and you probably
won't need to do anything else.
