Boot from pxe linux server

(1/2) > >>

hazz:
Hi there and thank you all for any suggestion given,
So i followed the instruction how to set up the pxe and tftpd-hpa under a ubuntu distro "backtrack"
but i'm encountered always in this error on the remote laptop
Plop linux not found on 10.0.0.1:/tftpboot/ploplinux
My question are do i need to setup a NFS? isn't it possible to start ploplinux just under the directory of
/tftpboot?
I've tried even to set up the PXE under damn small linux and it worked out, seeing that ploplinux can boot an old pc even from a usb not configured under the bios i thought great but, now i'm at the border what's next?
is it possible that the boot manager can give the opportunities to boot from a pcmcia card?
Thank you guys

a samba or nfs server is required.

damn small linux is loaded completely to the ram over pxe and works from the ram. my plop linux is working different. however, it can be loaded completely to the ram too, but it still needs nfs or samba for that.

maybe i should add a tftp boot option to boot without nfs and samba. it could be a nice additional feature, but booting will be slower

pcmcia card for usb: yes

So do i need to set up a NFS server?
Why it hangs up on Plop linux not found on 10.0.0.1:/tftpboot/ploplinux, when i did everything as the tutorials says?
Ciao

Hi there solved i see that the kernel is 3.* awsome..
I had to apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
than i had to change the file /etc/exports in this way for the permission deny
/tftpboot/ploplinux 10.0.0.0/255.255.0.0(rw,no_root_squash,sync)
I took info from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo
and othere site to get the plop run in full version
Questions: where do i get a full tutorial about busybox when i got really tough problem?
Ciao i will try the distro for the next month
