Hi all,

why is there a special boot image for network install?
Can't I boot the linux/initrd from the regular images via pxe over
network? I think so.
Because yesterday I was able to start the ppc installation with the
"inst64" image via bootp/tftp.

So, why the special network install iso?

Thanks,

Torsten
