Great work. I think I'll try it!

A couple of things that are not clear from the instructions, relating to DHCP: "Prepare your dhcp-server If you have a working dhcp server add the following lines to your group, substituting ip and mac address as needed"

How do we know if we have a working DHCP server? This assumes we've just installed the deb package, how do we know it works? Where's "to your group"?

Thanks, R

Hi,

Well, you should have some understanding of dhcp3-server (http://www.isc.org). Other dhcpd servers might be possible, though. After you install the package you have to modify the configuration, add a group for your subnet, etc. If the clients in your lan accept dhcp offers your dhcp server works.

I think you can also use bootpd instead for a full blown DHCP server... -jer

Does anybody know how to install Kubuntu (and other relatives) directly using PXE? There a bug report here: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/16507 But it's rather old (2005-05-03) and unresolved. - jes.vestervang@gmail.com
