installing Windows over the network (PXE)
Posted: Mon May 11, 2009 10:25 am
Does anybody know how to configure Solaris such that I would be able to install Windows XP Pro via PXE?
I've seen a bunch of guides available that uses Sysangel and like a mini-Linux for tftp, DHCP server, and DNS (I think).
I know that I've done a PXE install of Solaris from another Solaris system before; so I was wondering if there's an easier way, or do I just have to bite the bullet and follow those guides verbatim?
(Note: this is only going to be for a single deployment, so I don't think that I'm going to need RIS).
Or would it just be easier for me to attach an optical drive to the target system?
