Hello everybody, today I installed debian via TFTP on a network where I was already running dnsmasq, and it had never been so simple: # cat <<__END__ > /etc/dnsmasq.d/tftp enable-tftp tftp-root=/var/tftp __END__ # /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart # mkdir /var/tftp ; cd /var/tftp # wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/gtk/netboot.tar.gz # tar xvfz netboot.tar.gz According to the Debian wiki, only the following other items need to be configured. interface=eth1 domain=yourdomain.com dhcp-range=192.168.0.3,192.168.0.253,255.255.255.0,1h dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0,pxeserver,192.168.0.2 pxe-service=x86PC, "Install Linux", pxelinux https://wiki.debian.org/PXEBootInstall#Another_Way_-_use_Dnsmasq Nevertheless, it looks like pxe-service is not strictly necessary. I wonder if it would be worth mentioning dnsmasq proeminently it in the Installation Guide. It is a much easier setup than isc-dhcp-server or BOOTP (is that still needed ?)
