Dear All,
    I have installed Red Hat Enterprise 3 on one Intel-32 bit machine. I 
have
installed all systemimager/systeminstaller/flamethrower RPMS that machine. I
would like to install OS through PXE boot on another Athlon machine.

When I execute mkssimage for creating a image master

# mksiimage --Add --name image1 --path 
/var/lib/systemimager/images/image1 --filename
/root/rpmlist --location /tftpboot/rpm --arch i686

    Warning: Missing required packages, continuing systemconfigurator at 
/usr/bin/mksiimage line 164
    Couldn't find file for PYXML. at /usr/lib/SystemInstaller/PackageBest.pm

 Cleaned up new image image1 at /usr/bin/mksiimage




    I don't understand what is this error. All the rpms 
setup,festival,...etc are being copied to /tfpboot/rpm. I get the same error 
even if I change the rpm list.

    Pls give me some good step-by-step documents for remotely installing OS
in another machine.

Regards,
Rajiv
