Description

I've setup PXE boot for other distributions (clonezilla, ubuntu,.. ) a while ago and this usually works well.
I was able to boot the live image and launch the installer with following configuration of pxelinux:
```
LABEL Cachyos
MENU LABEL CachyOS x86_64
LINUX boot/cachyos/vmlinuz-linux-cachyos
INITRD boot/cachyos/initramfs-linux-cachyos.img
APPEND archisobasedir=arch archiso_http_srv=http://192.168.0.222:5888/cachyos-desktop-extracted/ cms_verify=n
SYSAPPEND 3
TEXT HELP
CachyOs 250713 x86_64
ENDTEXT

LABEL Local
MENU LABEL Boot from local drive
LOCALBOOT 0xffff

```

The live image boots fine into plasma desktop. Starting the installer is also working. Also the partitioning part is done, but then it comes to the following error:
acstrap: error: failed retrieving file 'linux-firmware-nvidia-1:20250708-2-any.pkg.tar.zst' from cdn77.cachyos.org : Failure writing output to destination, passed 8102 returned 9"
The full log can be found here http://termbin.com/nm4w
I tried it several times but nothing helped.
I then tried the usb boot and this one worked good.
