Because the Linux boot disk usually works better, both for features (e.g., partitioning without reboot) and for reliability. > [*] is filename "pxelinux.0" enough or must the absolute path be > specified?! like filename "/tftpboot/pxelinux.0" ??? The filename is relative to the TFTP root. So if you invoke tftpd with /tftpboot as the root, "pxelinux.0" is sufficient. > [*] I found the following line at > http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php#dhcp : "TFTP daemon runs under > chroot (tftp-hpa will do this if you specify the -s (secure) option; > this is highly recommended)" ..back to my question: is its use > recommended for this purpose?! This should not matter. "chroot" is a security measure which you might as well enable, but it should have no visible effect. > [*] I have included the "range <from> <to>" declaration within the > subnet block, see below: > subnet 131.188.xxx.x netmask 255.255.255.0 > { > range 131.188.118.200 131.188.118.231; > ..now with this configuration only hosts (pxe-clients) which get an > IP in this range may reach the pxelinux.0 ?!? true or false?! False. All the "range" statement does is tell the DHCP server to hand out a dynamic address to any host which requests a lease. The TFTP server configuration is distinct, and usually allows anonymous access, so any host may access pxelinux.0. The "next-server" and "filename" options tell the PXE client where to find its boot image. - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
