hj_fr Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 HiIt is possible to start an unattend windows installation with TFTP (with a computer with a PXE network card) ?I don't want to use RIS (because too many different PC).The solution that I think:A linux server with a TFTP server and Samba file sharing (like a Windows share).I put all the files from CD on the TFTP, or on the shared dir.The PC, boot, request an IP by DHCP, load the begin of install by TFTP and install the windows to the PC.No D7, no CD, no DVD, etc. Only PC with a PXE capable network card.It is possible ? And why ? I need some explanation to how to do thatThanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
