Re: pxe boot tutorial

You read the wiki, but installed dhcp and tftp? Which wiki page were you reading? How have you configured these applications? What error messages do you get? Does the client even get an IP from the server?

Re: pxe boot tutorial

Are you using the iso or you trying to make a permanent installation?

Stop bumping your own thread. Every post has an "Edit" link -- use it.

I suggest that you read the article WorMzy linked you to, and is in my signature. You need to help us to help you, but we are not going to hold your hand and spoon-feed you the information you want.

Re: pxe boot tutorial

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Diskless_system

/etc/dhcpd.conf

allow booting;
allow bootp;

authoritative;

option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.1;

option architecture code 93 = unsigned integer 16;

group {
    next-server 10.0.0.1;

    if option architecture = 00:07 {
        filename "/grub/x86_64-efi/core.efi";
    } else {
        filename "/grub/i386-pc/core.0";
    }

    subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        option routers 10.0.0.1;
        range 10.0.0.128 10.0.0.254;
    }
}

i had install dhcp and configured as the wiki, it's said start the dhcp service, i run systemctl start dhcp, but it replay no such file/directory

so in the step, start dhcp service, i dont know how to do this

MOD EDIT: use code tags.

Re: pxe boot tutorial

Perhaps refer to the wiki page for dhcpd?

EDIT: please use code tags when posting configuration files etc.

Re: pxe boot tutorial

I think he needs the dnsmasq wiki page for live/iso PXE.  But if he wants to run PC from laptop it should be a permanent installation.  For a permanent installation. he'll need the diskless/NFS wiki.
