can anyone help me on configuring diskless booting I have two pcs one with linux and the other with a motherboard with a boot agent but error says it can't find the file been trying to config but not enough knowledge thats where ya come in please help

Welcome to LQ.

Can you tell us what you are trying to boot - eg:
1) ltsp workstation
2) Install
3) something else

What distro(s) are you using?

I trying to boot a computer in another room to the linux system actully the computer has a hardrive but I want to choose to select the boot agent as first priority and hope to has a linux pc , when I try its give a error message saying it can't find the file

What system are you using for the server?

If you can't find the docs for the motherboard...good luck.

...who know WHAT it might be looking for?

I used to have a mobo that needed a proprietary disk for recover in case it messed up. I guarded that disk like it were gold because the mfgr. wasn't around anymore.

That mobo is history now...and I finally found another reason for that bright 720K yellow disk.

Now it holds my partition backup.

the system I'm using is fedora rh 9 amd 750 duran, I've tried to use the net booting service but don't no how to config it ,, I get to the network intallation diskless and enviroment and go to config then click add and it ask for diskless identifier and it ask for name and describtion so I'm assuming rhel-9-as don't know if this is correct stuff , is there a command to get the correct name (rhel-9-as
then it ask for server name and directory really have a name for a server I have been inputting the ip address 192.168.0.2, and for directory I've tried tftpboot/linux-install/pxelinux.cfg but permissions were denied can anyone lead me on

the motherboard is a intel gb 850 I've tried to go into setup but nothing happening, meaning the setup for the boot agent it says f1 f2 but nothing happens maybe I will look into more about the agent but it's trying to find the pxelinux.cfg I guess but I don't know how to config the diskless boot config so until then I'll remain stuck

Can you clarify EXACTLY what distro you are trying to use. You have already mentioned 3:
RedHat 9
Fedora
RedHat Enterprise

I would say fedora ,

From what I can make you it is the same as an RH9 setup. Try following the server setup instructions here:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/l...stall-net.html

any body know the format for config the /etc/fstab file I know it's in the doc but can I have a easier example forinstance

/localhost /home ext3 default 11
