Hi,

I'm trying to install Ubuntu over PXE using TFTP and NFS rather than a netboot whereby you boot into a minimal install

I was hoping to use NFS to export the entire .iso and use that for the instalation and be able to install a complete version

does anyone know of any good tutorials or sites or any experience themselves?

Either using a windows machine for the TFTP/NFS server or a Ubuntu one - I had a look at
http://rebholz.wordpress.com/2012/05/17/technical-how-to-installing-linux-edubuntu-using-pxe-boot-and-windows-7-as-a-server/

and i got as far as loadining initrd then it times out

thanks
