Ubuntu Install from Windows XP - TFTPD32 - PXE - Crossover Installation Method. Step by Step.
You will need:
- one laptop/desktop with internet connection.
- and one laptop/desktop for the installation.
- a crossover cable (any CAT5/CAT6 ethernet wire)
- Tftpd32 : http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html
- Netboot : ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/distributions/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-ia64/20041118/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
- and some brain power.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the windows xp machine do as follows:
- go to properties tab of the nic you will be using for crossover.
- go to ipv4 and edit as follow:
- IP Address: 192.168.5.1
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
- everything else stays blank.
- you will notice why later on.
- now lets move on with the tools you downloaded from the links above
- exctract tftpd32 anywhere, lets say desktop
- go into the folder and start the application
- now hit settings button and check the *DHCP server* / restart tftpd32
- now go again to settings button, and at the top go to DHCP tab.
- setup everything as follows:
- IP start addr: 192.168.5.2
- Size of pool: 20
- Bootfile: netboot\pxelinux.0
- WINS/DNS: 192.168.5.1
- Default Router: 192.168.5.1
- Mask: 255.255.255.0
- hit ok
- remember now the tftpd32 server interface must be set 192.168.5.1
- it will change automatically or need a change when we connect both machines with the wire.
- remember to have all firewalls turned off!
- now extract netboot anywhere.
- go to tftpd32 directory and create a folder there called netboot
- copy all files from extracted netboot in to the new created folder.
- it will be : ubuntu-installer / pxelinux.0 / version.info
- so now when you are in the tftpd32/netboot
- go to the ubuntu-installer/i386 & copy the pxelinux.cfg folder
- paste it once in the main tftpd32 directory and once in the tftpd/netboot directory
- thats all folks, now connect your crossover cable
- start or restart the tftpd32 daemon.
- boot the machine you are installing on into PXE mode
- it will auto DHCP and kick you in to the installation
- follow the steps, good luck.
make sure the other laptop has Internet connection or Internet connection share
ubuntu will be downloaded from the ubuntu internet archives
if you just install the core it's ok
once your installation was successful, login and do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
