Jon,

You might want to check out http://www.ltsp.org/. They seem to have some
documentation that I at least thought I could follow when I was looking =
into
it.

Subject: PXEBoot and TFTP install

I am trying to install onto an appliance(Net4801) using PXEBoot and =
TFTP.
I am having a very hard time understanding this from what limited sites =
I
have found. Does anyone know of a good howto on how this is =
accomplished?
I went to syslinux and read about that but he assumes I know too much
when, in fact, I know too little.

One question I do have is this, do I need a completely different box to =
do
this or can I do it on an already functioning system?

I found a couple of windows utilities for TFTP and DHCP that does give =
the
appliance an IP address and then it seems like it starts to read my
pxeboot.0 file but then fails with a bunch of errors. I can't =
troubleshoot
the errors because I have no knowledge of how this works and what the
steps are in the process.

Any help for my derilict ways is appreciated,

Jon
