Syslinux - Jun 2007 - How to avoid the network reinstall in pxelinux?

Hi, syslinux:

I am using pxelinux to install the Linux by network, it works fine.

My question is in order to boot the client machine from network, my boot
order(which set in BIOS) is: First, network; Second, Harddisk; Third, ......

But when the client machine finished the Linux installation, it will
boot from network again and reinstall the OS again.

So how can avoid this reinstall issue automatically? Is there any
configuration in pxelinux which can achieve this?

Thanks a lot.

I made a graphical menu, or even txt menu if you dont want to fool with it
for over an hour. Have the default localboot, I have a default timeout set
for 10 seconds, so if you do not chose something, or change the highlighter
after 10 seconds, itll localboot.

Problem solved :]
