Creating a PXE boot for Jaunty Live.
Requires:
Ubuntu server for PXE environment (tested on Jaunty 9.04 server).On the Ubuntu server: Login as root or sudo su - Create the following directory structure: /pxeDownload syslinux-xxx.zip from here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/ Extract the files. Find menu.c32 & pxelinux.0 & copy them to the /pxe directory. The other syslinux files & zip are no longer needed and can be deleted. create a file /pxe/pxelinux.cfg/default & paste in the following: DEFAULT menu.c32Copy the contents of the Ubuntu live CD into /pxe/images/ubuntu Now install dnsmasq & nfs-kernel-server apt-get install dnsmasq nfs-kernel-serveredit /etc/dnsmasq.conf & replace all text with: no-hostsMake sure you replace the ip addresses, netmasks etc with ones suitable for your network. edit /etc/exports & replace all text with: /pxe/images *(ro,sync,subtree_check)Add your DNS nameservers by creating the new file (this example is for opendns): nano /etc/nameservers nameserver 208.67.222.222Reboot your server (or restart dnsmasq & nfs-kernel-server). You should now be able to boot your target client machine to Ubuntu if it has a pxeboot enabled network card (usually accessed by pressing F12 at boot). This worked for me. I hope this helps.
