Re: PXE boot localhost.localdomain login?

Found the cure!!!!

It was the PXE entry in the menu.  The guide somehow doesnt let me get past the login prompt. 
The note at the bottom of the guide gave me some clue!!

NOTE2: Remember to check the boot parameters in syslinux/syslinux.cfg   

I just copied and renamed syslinux.cfg then modified it with my server address.

copied this one from the guide:
            kernel vmlinuz1
            append initrd=initrd1.img boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 fetch=http://$webserverIP/filesystem.squashfs



this one worked:

  kernel vmlinuz1
  append initrd=initrd1.img boot=live config  noswap noprompt      fetch=http://myserver.com/gparted/filesystem.squashfs nosplash

I just registered to thank you infomate. It works with GParted 0.8, when i got a "gparted-live-start failure" message.
