10 Add CentOS 4.4 Netboot
Next we download the CentOS 4.4 netboot files and put them in /var/lib/tftpboot/centos/4.4 like this:
cd /var/lib/tftpboot
mkdir -p centos/4.4/i386
cd centos/4.4/i386
wget http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/centos/4.4/os/i386/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
wget http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/centos/4.4/os/i386/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
(You can download the files from any other CentOS mirror as well. Use one that is close to you.)
Then add a CentOS 4.4 LABEL stanza to /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default. The file should now look like this:
vi /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
DISPLAY boot.txt

When you installl CentOS 4.4 over the network, the installer will ask you about the installation method. Select HTTP and enter ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de as the host, pub/Mirrors/centos/4.4/os/i386/ as the directory. Of course, you can use any other CentOS mirror as well; use one that is close to you.
