Subject: Feature dnsmasq as TFTP server in the installation guide ?
(...)
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 ?)
Hello
I don't quite know how the situation was 12 years ago, but since
isc-dhcp-server is now abandoned upstream: certainly worth it.
Moreover, if you use network-manager and plan to install using a shared
connection, with the built-in dnsmasq, it's as easy as dropping these
lines in /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq-shared.d/:
dhcp-boot=debian-installer/amd64/bootnetx64.efi
enable-tftp
tftp-root=/var/tftp/
... the simplicity of which is hard to beat. I'll try to prepare a
merge request in Salsa with this.
