Re: Remote Configuration is not working

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'll give it try tomorrow when I get to work.
I should also mention that I'm using a Windows 2000 DHCP and RIS server to network boot pxes.  I only use the Linux box to build the initrd image.


Question: 

How to I get the kernel/initrd to load in debug mode?
As I stated in my previous message, pxes-0.9 does not show any debug info that I normally see when using pxes-0.8.
