how do i boot from network?
 

i have a laptop without an operating system. now, i want to install from a live cd but theres something wrong with my cdrom and i cant install any os at all. i found an option "boot from network". how does that work?

Look into 'kickstart'.

im sorry but i still dont understand...

Kickstart allows a small config file on your machine to initiate the install from a network mounted filesystem.
Take a look here:

i see... ill try it but, if i'll still be having problems, please help me still! :)

OK, and I'm probably making this messier than necessary.

To INSTALL(rather than boot) from a network source try:

problem solved! tnx! :)
