Hi BigJimJams,
Thanks for the great guide!
I did notice a few problems with the guide however...:
- The guide doesn't show how to set up /etc/network/interfaces on the server
- In /etc/default/dhcp3-server your missing a semi-colon at the end of the third to last line
- In /etc/default/tftpd-hpa RUN_DAEMON should equal "yes" (all lowercase), mine was yelling at me without this (I was using debian so maybe that's why).
Just as a side note, I was having trouble at the tftp stage. DHCP assigned an IP address ok, but I recieved the "PXE-E32" error. This only happened on two of the three computers I was using.
So as this source (
http://www.mail-archive.com/ltsp-dis.../msg32044.html) suggests I tried booting from a pxe cd. I used GPXE.
I went to their website (
http://kernel.org/pub/software/utils/boot/gpxe/) and downloaded the latest version. Then I untarred it (tar -xzf gpxe-*), then I changed directories into the new folder (cd gpxe-*).
Then I changed directory into src (cd src) then ran "make bin/gpxe.iso" Then the iso was in "bin/gpxe.iso". I was able to boot from this which resolved the problem.
