Server
Boot the server, g4-cluster01(G4 on the left). It will boot automatically. For now, start the boot server services manually.
Start the dhcp server
# dhcpd
restarting the dhcp server
# ps aux |grep dhcp # kill ## # dhcpd
Start the tftp server
# service xinetd restart or in.tftpd -l -c -v -v -v -v -v -s -r blksize /tftpboot
Check tftp services on mac mini
$ tftp 192.168.2.11 > get vmlinuz
Check nfs using live cd because I cannot get the mac mini to work with nfs

DNS
Set up caching first
yum install
- bind (includes DNS server, named)
- bind-utils (utilities for querying DNS servers about host information)
- bind-libs (libraries used by the bind server and utils package)
- bind-chroot (tree of files which can be used as a chroot jail for bind)
- caching-nameserver (config files for a simple caching nameserver)
optional
- system-config-bind (gui to configure bind)
Add the following to
/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
forwarders { xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; }; #IP of upstream ISP nameserver(s)
forward only; #rely completely on our upstream nameservers
Check the syntax
named-checkconf named.conf
/etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 127.0.0.1
Test
dig redhat.com
If caching is working, the second lookup should have a shorter time
dig redhat.com
open port 53 for clients to access the DNS
iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.15.0/24 -p udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT service iptables save

Kickstart
FYI, after any install, including from CD, there is a fully working kickstart
file with all your chosen options saved to /root/anaconda-ks.cfg
To re-use it, all you have to do is put it on a website and then when
booting from the install CD instead of just <ENTER> type:
linux ks=http://my.server.tld/anaconda-ks.cfg
But keep in the mind: after the choosing everything packages listed in
anaconda installer, you will not install all packages – more then 700
packages from distribution is not included to anaconda or pirut package
selector.
You may check it, for example, by starting yumex, choosing only sl-base
repository and looking for available packages or by user-friendly
way :) :
echo $((`ls /<disto-path>/SL/*.rpm | wc -l` - `rpm -qa | wc -l`))
Installation goodies:
/root/install.log /root/install.log.syslog /var/log/anaconda.log /var/log/anaconda.syslog

in the i386 folder, create a folder $oem$ to put additional drivers. The total path cannot exceed 64 characters. I have not had luch with folder names longer than 8 characters.
mkdir \$oem\$ cd \$oem\$ mkdir \$1 cd \$1 mkdir <driver-name> cd <driver-name> cp <.inf directory contents> .
More directory structure:
The z: drive will be the install directory. The directory tree should be:
- /opt/Unattended/unattended-4.6/install
- ./djgpp
- ./<extras>
- ./os
- ./winxp
- ./i386
- ./$oem$
- ./$1
- ./<additional driver Folders>
- ./win2k3
- ./i386
- ./$oem$
- ./$1
- ./<additional driver Folders>
unattend.txt can have answers to specific sections, and the script will fill in the rest. A better approach is to configure config.pl to get the data from unattend.csv or the mysql database.

Is the pxelinux stuff now packaged elsewhere? Thanks. It's a good point you raise as I myself as migrating the pxe boot setup from SL4.5 to SL5 currently, and have just run into this obstacle. Here: http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv5-list/2007-April/msg00123.html seems to suggest that TUV couldn't include it in el5, but also that installing the FC6 package: http://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/fedora/core/6/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/system-config-netboot-0.1.41-1.FC6.noarch.rpm will work, or even recompiling the el4 package: http://updates.redhat.com/enterprise/4ES/en/os/SRPMS/system-config-netboot-0.1.40-1_EL4.src.rpm as a workaround. Well, I've tried the first way on SL5: # rpm -Uvh http://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/fedora/core/6/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/system-config-netboot-0.1.41-1.FC6.noarch.rpm Retrieving

video accelerator driver did not load automatically. sp36236 seems to be the latest.
