Before You Begin
Before you install Linux from a PXE server, you must do the following:
Configure your Linux network to support a PXE server.
Disable the firewall on your PXE server.
Install a Linux image on your PXE server.
Connect the PXE client to the same network as your PXE server.
The PXE client is the target where you are installing Linux from a PXE image on a PXE server.
The PXE client attempts to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server.
A list of PXE servers appears.
The corresponding Linux installation image downloads onto the PXE client.
