I'm making progress. I added dhcp ethdevice=eno1 to the
parameters in <br>
the pxe configuration and now one of my PC's finds the <br>
filesystem.squashfs and attempts to boot. It freezes at
"Starting Gnome <br>
Display Manager"<br>
<br>
I tried another system that has more memory and it fails with
a message <br>
that it can't find eno1. Interesting.<br>
<br>

In the end I got it working by leaving out the "ethdevice="
statement and letting the booting system work it out.<br>
<br>
:-) Thanks Ken<br>
