no group package selection via PXE network installation
I''m trying to install centos 6.4 on my server A (which has 512 MB ram and no cdrom) by PXE. I exported installation tree ''CentOS-6.4-i386-bin-DVD1.iso'' via http on server ''Z'', all according to Centos howto (copied vmlinuz, pxelinux.cfg, initrd.img , started tftpd+dhcpd services) Boot process is OK (in text mode! I think it''s a memory problem); it''s required keyboard type, time zone, network parameters, disk partitions, ... but no installation type is required (basic, minimal, server, ...) and no packages selection ! Installation goes on installing the packages but without choosing them! I''d like to choose type of installation and the details of packages, any options as I used directly installation dvdrom1. I don''t want to use kickstart file ! My ''pxelinux.cfg/default'' file: timeout 9000 default menu.c32 menu title ########## PXE Boot Menu ########## label 1 menu label ^1) Install CentOS 6 kernel centos64/vmlinuz append initrd=centos64/initrd.img repo=http://a.b.x.y/centos6 devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=152000 label 2 menu label ^2) Boot from local drive localboot What do you think ?
