di-netboot-assistant
The package di-netboot-assistant (PTS) provides a tool to simplify the preparation of files for TFTP net booting.
- Downloads and extracts all the files needed and takes care of organizing them.
- Prepares a top level menu, which allows one to choose from all installed netboot images.
- Supports PXElinux and grub-efi.
- Helps with preseeding the installer in order to set up systems completely automatically.
Audience:
- Sysadmins, who need to configure network boot services to install machines (completely automatic, if preseeding is used) over the network.
- Developers, who need to install new versions and distributions often.
For further information, take a look at the README, README.preseed and the example configuration samples.
