Netboot questions
 
hi there!
I am trying to set my PC to serve as a boot server for a Powerbook G4 (NewWorld) with only a hdd in it.
I am running a Slackware derivate linux (Vector 5.1.SOHO) with a shipped DNSMasq, and i installed a tftp-hda.
Now i try to netboot and then install a gentoo linux but something is wrong.
questions are:

1. do i need a bootp server too or the above mentioned servers are OK.?

2. at gentoo howto i hit a note to insert in /etc/conf.d/in.tftpd file:
INTFTPD_PATH="/tftpboot"
INTFTPD_OPTS="-s -v -l ${INTFTPD_PATH}"

Under Vector i see nothing like /etc/conf.d/in.tftpd file, none of the tftpd files is config.

3. Vector has inetd, not xinetd. do i have to insert the options -s -v -l in inetd or should i start xinetd?
