Here are the instruction to create pxe boot installation server. You
need nfsserver, dhcp-server, tftp server and syslinux.
1. Select your dhcpd interface from yast.
/etc/dhcpd.conf
prime:/mnt/sdb5/downloads # cat /etc/dhcpd.conf
option domain-name "cyberorg.info";
option domain-name-servers 202.138.103.100;
option routers 10.0.0.254;
default-lease-time 14400;
ddns-update-style none;
get-lease-hostnames true;
next-server 10.0.0.254;
subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.0.0.50 10.0.0.170;
default-lease-time 144000;
max-lease-time 172800;
filename "pxelinux.0";
2. mkdir /mnt/10.2 ; mount suse-10.2-DVD.iso /mnt/10.2 -o loop
3. /etc/exports
/mnt/10.2 *(ro,no_root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)
4. Enable tftp from yast and point the directory to /srv/tftpboot.
/etc/xinet.d/tftp
---snip---
server_args = -s /srv/tftpboot/
disable = no
---snip---
5. cp /mnt/10.2/boot/i386/loader/linux /srv/tftpboot/
6. cp /mnt/10.2/boot/i386/loader/initrd /srv/tftpboot/
7. cp /usr/share/syslinux/pxelinux.0 /srv/tftpboot/
8. cat /srv/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
LABEL linux
kernel linux
append initrd=initrd install=nfs://10.0.0.254:/mnt/10.2
9. rcdhcpd restart ; rcnfsserver restart ; rcxinetd restart
10. PXE boot your client, the installation should start automatically :)
Cheers
