pxe boot server


Hi All

I am trying to make PXE boot server on Centos 5.. I have done with all things on server side but when I am trying to boot it from the client end side it shows the error message "UNABLE TO FIND YOUR KICKSTART FILE ON 10.50.18.6:/VAR/FTP/PUB/KS. 10.50.18.6 is my server ip on which I have made pxe. I am making it through nfs so I am copy the whole dvd in /var/ftp/pub and the kickstart file also and shared this directory in /etc/exports. In /etc/exports I have shared this path like this:-

/var/ftp/pub 10.50.18.6(rw,sync)

I have configured my dhcp also and it is working fine so please guide me where I am doing wrong?

Thanks & Regards

pxe is very fussy about getting the files in the right place. Slackware do an excellent document on it in their distro under an installers subdir.
