Re: Server Setup to boot your PXE client

Hi Folks,

Please comment on the accuracy and completeness of this post, for the
benefit of those that follow. Including me, when I try to remember
what I was talking about six months from now... :-)

I did this with RedHat Fedora 8, but I don't think there is much
distribution specific stuff in it. Please review and post the changes
that your own distribution would require.

Also, please notice that there is an opportunity for contribution in
terms of the PXE stack on the client and how to accomplish this for
those clients that haven't got this feature.

Chris.

Thanks Chris - that's very interesting. I've been wanting to set up a bootp
server for my network for a while now, so I'll start from this. I posted
here a few weeks ago asking about how to configure dhcpd for "bootp
promiscuity" (ie. offering boot files without requiring MAC addresses) - it
looks like you might have solved that for me.

I run Debian (Lenny), so I'll post any changes I make in this thread.

Cheers,

Chris
