-Here is a short description to configure a PXE server using dhcpd and tftpd.
-This allows a network boot for your ethernet card conforming to the Interl
-PXE specification.
-
-********************************************************************************
-********** General overview ************
-********************************************************************************
-
-You need a dhcp server and a tftp server on one or two machines to allow the
-network boot. 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. All install are
-done on subnet 192.168.2.0.
-
-All the files that will be downloaded by the tftp daemon are located under
-"/tftpboot" :
- "/tftpboot/pxelinux.0" is a program that is loaded directly by the machine
- where a network boot will be done, this program comes
- from the SYSLINUX package by H. Peter Anvin. (look at
- http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php for more information)
- "/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/" is a directory where all configuration file for
- pxelinux.0 will be found, pxelinux.0 will download
- these file by itself. It searches first for a file
- named accordind to the machine IP address in
- hexadecimal, for example for 192.168.2.20, it
- looks for "C0A80214" first, then "C0A8021" and so
- on down to "C0", "C" and "default".
- "/tftpboot/network.rdz" is the standard network initrd for Mandrake installation.
- "/tftpboot/vmlinuz" is the boot kernel for installation.
- "/tftpboot/help.msg" is the message displayed by pxelinux.0, note that currently
- graphical message (as for install using SYSLINUX 1.48 with
- graphic patch by Mandrake) is not supported.
-
-All file "network.rdz", "vmlinuz", "help.msg" can be found by mounting "network.img",
-or the network floppy disk used for install, "pxelinux.cfg" is just an adaptation
-of the file found on the "network.img" called "syslinux.cfg" but without the reference
-to boot.msg (as it is not currently supported).
-
-Update network configuration for your needs and start dhcp server on the machine and
-tftp server and this should work.
