Hello Everyone!I'm a Linux Beginner.I'm interested in pxe boot everything.I have tried many times to pxe boot slax linux,but every time I have failed.
Today,I did it.
I am willing to share with you the joy of success.
I am using windows platform tftpd32 and cygwin compiled 'monkey http server' implementation.
first,create a folder named SlaxLinux, copy initrd.gz,vmlinuz to this folder.I use pxelinux to load these two files.like this:
LABEL linux
MENU LABEL Run linux over PXE
KERNEL SlaxLinux\vmlinuz
IPAPPEND 1
APPEND vga=769 initrd=SlaxLinux\initrd.gz ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw autoexec=xconf;startx
second,copy monkey files compiled with cygwin to SlaxLinux folder and create a batch file named monkey.bat. it's content:
monkey -c conf
the structure of SlaxLinux folder:
conf (folder)
logs (folder)
slax (folder)
cyggcc_s-1.dll
cygwin1.dll
initrd.gz
monkey.bat
monkey.exe
vmlinuz
copy all files from slax cd's \boot\pxelinux.cfg\web\conf\ folder to SlaxLinux\conf folder.
modify Server_root path and PidFile path in monkey.conf like this:
Server_root slax
Port 80
PidFile logs/monkey.pid
ServerName pc
Timeout 15
MaxClients 2000
GetDir on
Resume on
User nobody
KeepAlive on
MaxKeepAliveRequest 2000
KeepAliveTimeout 60
SymLink On
Header_file .header
Footer_file .footer
Third,copy slax folder of the cd to SlaxLinux/slax folder,when you finished please ensure there is a file named livecd.sgn in folder SlaxLinux/slax/slax folder.
Finally,run monkey.bat and start pxe client to boot slax over lan.
Warning:1.Pxe client from vmware,virtual pc and virtualbox to boot slax won't successful.
2.You'd better to use Monkey http server.Many other http server dosen't work.
