Alexander Heinz was kind enough to help me out on my
PXE setup via Messenger and got it all working for me.

I have a couple of questions about this now that it's
working though :

- why do I always get the error "invalid keyword in
file" right after it's loading the "default" file ?? I
get this in every case, either booting hardware or
vmware images etc. Is there an invalid keyword ? or is
this a bug in the PXE ROM code itself or something
inherent in PXELINUX ?

- is there a simple way to get CD-ROM .ISO images to
boot with memdisk just like .IMA files ?

- I *cannot* get the Debian Sarge installer to work on
various hardware, or vmware images. The kernel panic
that described before happens in every case, and I
expect that anyone would get the same result if they
have the same setup as I now have with the directory
structure as below. If anyone has time to try it,
maybe they can see why the Sarge installer is not
working ?

I had been making a few mistakes in my configuration
that Alex fixed for me, but below is my
now-working-perfectly exact folder structure ...

Thanks and Regards,

Roy.
