Operation Manual
TIP: Changing Kernel and initrd Filenames
It is possible to use different lenames for Kernel and initrd images. This is
useful if you want to provide different operating systems from the same
boot server. However, you should be aware that only one dot is permitted
in the lenames that are provided by TFTP for the PXE boot.
An example /srv/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default le follows. Adjust
the protocol prex for the repository to match your network setup and specify your
preferred method of connecting to the installer by adding the vnc and
vncpassword or the usessh and sshpassword options to the install entry.
The lines separated by \ must be entered as one continuous line without a line break
and without the \.
