Hello everybody,
I'm trying to install Debian over PXE.
I want to include extra packages in preseed conf with "d -i pkgsel/include".
Extra packages are listed in /PACKAGES, and that list is generated by a
debconf question included in early_command.
My preseed file contains:

Please back up a bit and tell us what exactly you're trying to do,
what works and
Dear List -
After a little bit of searching the problem causing the "no boot filename found" error is the lack
of a PXE server. I tried to modify a template for a server

Please post:-
/etc/dhcpd.conf
/etc/default/dhcp3-server
Like I said, these files are not there on my box!

In case it's an issue with insufficient free dhcp leases, on the box
with the dhcp server try:-
(for isc-dhcp-server) cat /var/lib/dhcpd.leases and compare that against
the number available in your settings
No such file or directory. Maybe because I am using isc-dhcp-server, not dhcp3?
Indeed (easy), I had to look at that for a bit. That's 11 host bits,
not 3 (255.255.255.248) giving 2048 addresses - which 'may' make a
difference. From 1st coffee of the day memory (dodgy) that's a class B
instead of a C.
Thanks for the pointer, a full refund is on it's way to the OP now.
I had replaced the splash.png in my tftp boot folder, which was
working at first but was not working later.
Replacing those files again solved the issue of PXE server not working!
I will keep posting again, if it gave some problem!
Thanks everyone.

I did the following:
1) Mounted my debian iso on /media/iso1/
2) Tweaked my sources.list as

I suspect apt-cacher-ng is the best long-term solution for the OP or I'd
have suggested just adding the entire DVD repo. to the TFTP directory
used by PXE.
Still I'll be trying both! Never bad to learn anything new! Thanks again! :)

Yes, it should be a perfect option, given the fact that students can
later install any package from the mirror. I'll try this and the
apt-cacher solution too.
Only one question. Suppose I want to update my packages, then should I
update my ftp mirror once a week, or should I update it from an
Thanks for replying Scott,appreciated your time and effort.
If I do apt-cdrom add, It will look for the cd-rom right, not the iso.
So I'll first need to mount the iso somewhere and tweak the
sources.list to point to a file, rather than a dvd.
And yes, one box is already ready with debian 7 32
