Sure - I added these two lines near the top of the file: allow booting; allow bootp; And then added this section at the end: host laptop { filename "/tftpboot/pxelinux.0"; server-name "pointer"; next-server pointer; hardware ethernet 00:B0:D0:A4:2B:88; }

I figured it out. The example dhcp.conf from the install manual for using PXE is apparently wrong. I used the conf they suggest for non-PXE and just specified pxelinux.0 as the filename. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the help everyone! /Owen On Tue, 2003-02-18 at 10:57, Owen B. Mehegan wrote: >

I tried to use PXE last night as well and had similar problems to when I used MBA. Unfortunately the error it gave would only flash on the screen for a second before the system rebooted so I'm not positive what the problem was. The install manual information for PXE is pretty vague. Is there any mo

Thanks for the tip. This is what I was afraid of. So where can I GET a bare bones kernel image? I'm poking around on the Debian ftp site but not seeing anything. Do I have to create my own bin file? /Owen On Tue, 2003-02-18 at 02:15, Emile van Bergen wrote: > Hi, > > On Tue, Feb 18, 2003 at 07:5
