This article show how to setup a complete PXE Boot environment to be used by any new server on your network.
First you will need to have an Apache or similar website.
[stextbox id="black"]# yum install httpd # chkconfig --level 345 httpd on # service httpd start[/stextbox]
Next you will need to mount your media on that webserver
[stextbox id="black"]# mkdir -p /var/www/html/OEL5.5[/stextbox]
You can copy files from your original ISO file or more impressively, you can mount your iso permanently. Modify your /etc/fstab like below:
/sw/download/oracle/oel5/Enterprise-R5-U4-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso /var/www/html/OEL5.5 udf,iso9660 user,loop 0 0
