PXE-booting / Etherbooting DamnSmallLinux
=========================================

This folder contains a slightly modified version of DamnSmallLinux that is
able to be PXE booted without loads of customizations. Since DSL is small, I
just packed it on the initrd (which now is 50MB). Thus my version just
requires a DHCP and a TFTP server. An NFS server is no longer necessary.
Further modifications to the initrd are also not necessary. To PXE boot DSL,
do the following:

Prepare a boot server
---------------------

1. Install and configure a DHCP server. You find a sample in this folder.
Please adjust nameserver gateway and other parameters according to your
network. "next-server" is the IP of the server providing the TFTP service.
Make sure to restart the DHCP daemon afterwards.

2. Install and run a TFTP daemon. This is usually done from within (x)inetd.
Unpack the file dsl-X.X-tftpboot to the TFTP-root-folder (usually
"/tftpboot".

3. Take a look at the configuration file $TFTPROOT/pxelinux.cfg/default.
Usually it does not need to be adjusted. You may want to load a certain
keymap.

Prepare the client
------------------

1. Configure the BIOS Setup to try network booting first.

2. Have fun!
