Re: Indy tftp install problem

["Steven Thomas" <steven__thomas@hotmail.com>]

You beauties! Thanks very much for your help. My Indy is now a turquoise 
tornado of a Debian box ;)

The crucial advice, over and above that on the web, was to use the tftpd-hpa 
package.

A short checklist for others ('chupacabras' is the dhcpd and tftpd host, 
ipaddr 192.168.1.3) :

steve@chupacbras:~ ls -l /tftpboot/
total 4620
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 4716488 2006-06-10 18:23 netboot-boot.img
steve@chupacabras:~ cat /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {}

host indy {
       hardware ethernet 08:00:69:09:b4:26;
       next-server 192.168.1.3;
       fixed-address 192.168.1.197;
       filename "netboot-boot.img";
}
steve@chupacabras:~ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
2048    32767
steve@chupacabras:~ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_no_pmtu_disc
1

I did not run tftpd via inetd :
root@chupacabras:/home/steve# in.tftpd -l -s /tftpboot

On the Indy, at the maintenance prompt :
> > bootp():

I found it unnecessary to 'unsetenv netaddr' or supply arguments to the 
bootp(): command.

Thanks once again,

Steve
