Hello,
I'm looking for help. Hope this is the right place to ask for it..
I wish to configure a server in the existing LAN so that I can install M$ and Debian
GNU/Linux OS's using a PXE able NIC.
what has already been done:
[*] installed tftpd-hpa on a machine running Debian GNU/Linux
[*] created /tftpboot (and linked it to /var/lib/tftpboot)
[*] added folowing lines in /etc/inetd.conf:
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
/var/lib/tftpboot
(btw, can I use the -s flag here for /usr/sbin/tcpd??)
[*] populated the /tftpboot directory using the files from unattended-
4.4b/bootdisk/tftpboot/
Now I got stuck on the DHCP config. The DHCP server is another machine in the
LAN. The /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf looks like this:
allow booting;
allow bootp;
# Group the PXE bootable hosts together
group {
# PXE-specific configuration directives...
option dhcp-class-identifier "PXEClient";
next-server pxe_boot_server_address;
# You need an entry like this for every host
# unless you're using dynamic addresses
host hostname {
hardware ethernet ethernet_address;
fixed-address hostname;
}
}
What should I understand by next-server?! Is it the same machine which runs the
tftpd (in this case includes also the /tftpboot directory)
What about the host entry?!?
I would like to install the OS' from any host connected to the LAN, not only from a
specific one..
Hope there is someone willing to help me..
Thank You in advance !!!
