Install required packages
sudo apt-get install openbsd-inetd tftpd-hpa dhcp3-server lftp
Start your tftpd server via inetd after adding the following line in
/etc/inetd.conf:
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot
/etc/init.d/inetd start
Configure Tftp Server
sudo update-inetd --enable BOOT
mkdir /var/lib/tftpboot
Enable run as daemon for server by edit /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
RUN_DAEMON="yes"
OPTIONS="-l -s /var/lib/tftpboot"
Verify inetd is listening on the right port (restart inetd service helps)
netstat -lu
udp 0 0 *:tftp *:*
Configure DHCP Server (you can use webmin)
cp /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf_orig
cat /dev/null > /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
vi /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
Add the following (change ip's to match your setup)
option domain-name-servers 10.160.0.10, 10.160.0.102;
default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 604800;
authoritative;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.49;
filename "pxelinux.0";
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
}
Then restart your DHCP server:
/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart
Download and put the netboot directory content at the root of the tftpd's
served /var/lib/tftpboot/ directory:
cd /var/lib/tftpboot/
lftp -c "open
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/;
mirror"
