I have followed the tutorial and was able to Build the Server and it is working fine. But I want to Config the server in such a way that based on my client’s MAC address OS should be installed without manual intervention. can this be possible?

This is not logical to create folder “centos7” with this name in the tftp server because the distro downloaded is centos8.

10. Once you’ve downloaded CentOS 8, you need to create a “centos7” directory and copy the bootable kernel and initrd images.

# mkdir /var/lib/tftpboot/centos8
# cp /mnt/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz /var/lib/tftpboot/centos8
# cp /mnt/images/pxeboot/initrd.img /var/lib/tftpboot/centos8

The reason behind having this approach is that later you can have separate directories for each new Linux distribution under /var/lib/tftpboot without messing up the entire directory structure.

Do I need to point it to something?

This issue is rectified. But the pxe menu is non-responsive. Whenever I press a key the timeout timer gets reset. Options are coming as provided in the default file, I can see that when I press the Tab key.
thank you.
