Following reading an email from Greene, Jason A [ITS]I have copied an entry from my
DHCP server relating to DHCP and LTSP on separate machines, while also using PXE boot.
I had a few problems sorting this out as the PXE client expects pxelinux.0, and the
LTSP kernel to be TFTP'd from the DHCP server.
192.168.2.101 is my LTSP server, DHCP/TFTP server running on 192.168.2.254
below is the section of /etc/dhcpd.conf that refers to my LTSP work station
# Win2k/LTSP workstation
host hera {
option root-path "192.168.2.101:/opt/ltsp/i386";
option host-name "hera";
next-server 192.168.2.101;
filename "/lts/2.4.22-ltsp-2/pxelinux.0";
hardware ethernet 00:50:8b:db:82:6d;
fixed-address 192.168.2.102;
}
if you are using PXE booting? the PXE client expects the 'pxelinux.0 file
to be on the DHCP server, then the kernel is TFTP'd from the DHCP
server, once the kernel has booted, the 'X' session is the established
with the named server (ie the "next-server" option). The "root-path"
option you need to specify the NFS server and path or it defaults to the
DHCP server also.
