comes with a TFTP/ProxyDHCP/Boot server. The PXE PDK can be
downloaded from Intel at

Red Hat Linux
Red Hat Linux 7.3 (or higher) distribution has PXE server support. It allows
you to do a complete Linux installation over the network. Distribution also
comes with boot images - boot kernel (vmlinuz) and initial ram disk (initrd).
The following images can be found on the CD-ROM disk#1:
/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
