Hi,
I tried to install debian via PXE.
following the doc, I install netboot.tar.gz which contains pxe file.
I configured the dhcpd.conf here is relevant part :

host 00016CB3066E{ # MAC
hardware ethernet 00:01:6C:B3:06:6E;
fixed-address 172.19.6.224;
server-name debian225;
next-server debian225;
filename "/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0";
}

I decompressed netboot.tar in /var/lib/tftpboot ,
I installed tftpd-hpa
first problem:
the file contains /etc/default/tftpd-hpa


RUN_DAEMON="no"
OPTIONS="-l -s /var/lib/tftpboot"

so the standalone tftpd-hpa is disabled, ??
While the file /etc/inetd.conf contains the good line
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot


When I boot a remote machine, I get correct address from the dhcp,

but the error is : file not found tftp error ?????
why I declared pxelinux0 in the /var/lib/tftpboot

question: must I run a standlone /tftpd-hpa or thru inetd, where I have to declare pxelinux0 for the connection

thanks a lot

Should be able to run it either way. Paths in tftp are relative so you should set the filename to just pxelinux.0 in your dhcp config.
