Thank you! I found this to be a very helpful article. I thought that I must be going mad, until I read your comment, “…some necessary information is very difficult to find.” Our field engineers need a way to update industrial compact-PCI machines that have no floppy and no CD/DVD, and while the BIOS supports PXE, it won’t boot from a USB drive. (Yes, the boxes are *that* old.) After I get all my kickstart kinks ironed out, I plan to create a VM out of my kickstart server and have our field engineers run that on their laptops. Thanks again – very much! – for gathering all the disparate bits together in one easy-to-read place! — kenshelby
