How to setup a Proxy DHCP with DNSMasq to do PXE boot?
Hey guys, I want to set up a PXE boot PC following this page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Di … t_NFS_root but I'm having trouble following. I've already got a router doing DHCP work for me, and the article says to then set it up on the PC, which obviously I'm not gonna do. I'm gonna just try using a boot CD with syslinux soon, but I really wanna get this working.
I was reading somewhere (maybe here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preboot_Ex … vironment) that you can use a proxy dhcp server with tftp separate to the actual dhcp server to do a PXE boot, or something like that. Anyone know if it's possible? My router doesn't have dd-wrt btw.
EDIT: This page also has info https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ProxyDHCP

In case anyone cares I've worked around this by putting DD-WRT on my router (Linksys E2000), as I couldn't find any other solution, other than making my server do DHCP for the network (which I didn't want).
