We are not using a PXE server to achieve this as it is not -mandatory. -You can install tftp-server and dhcp-server package from the Mandrake -distribution for example. - -On the server machine at 192.168.2.1, you will find a "/etc/dhcpd.conf" sample -file written by Florin Grad <florin@mandrakesoft.com>, where "mydomain.com" is -assumed to be your domain name, and 192.168.1.1 a name server.
