I tried various methods for installing the March 2007 snapshot using PXE (no CD-ROM drive), but I ran into a combination of problems that made this seemingly impossible. 1) The keyboard stops working as soon as sysinstall launches. This problem does not occur for the 6.2 snapshot, so there appears to be a regression. Unless someone can suggest how to track this down in a reasonable amount of time though, I'm going to have to move on. 2) When booting with a serial console, the machine switches back to the vga console when sysinstall launches. The 6.2 snapshot has the same problem. Perhaps there is a bad interaction with pxeboot, but I'm not familiar enough with the boot process to know where to look. Jason
