* Package name : pxe-pdhcp Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : FURUHASHI Sadayuki <fr _at_ syuki.skr.jp> * URL : http://svn.coderepos.org/share/lang/c/pxe-pdhcp/ * License : MIT Programming Lang: C Description : ProxyDHCP server for the non-DHCP server host Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) is a specification to boot PCs via the network connection. . There are 3 ways to set up the PXE. * Only with DHCP using the DHCPOFFER containing the PXE extension. --> dhcpd running with special DHCPOFFER in dhcpd.conf . * Run the ProxyDHCP server on the same server as the DHCP server. --> pxe + dhcpd running on the same server. * Run the ProxyDHCP server on a server different from the DHCP server. --> pxe-pdhcp (no dhcpd should be installed together) . This pxe-pdhcp package provides the support to the last option and this option is the most useful for people on the consumer grade home network since DHCP server can be left untouched which is impossible with other two options. . For BOOTP or DHCP needed for acquiring an IP address, it should be served from a different server than the one running this pxe-pdhcp. . For TFTP needed for transferring files, such as tftpd-hpa (or atftpd), it can be run on any server. . This program is a single purpose package and simpler to configure than the multi-feature dnsmasq package for the ProxyDHCP. --------------- The upstream source is old (2007) and not active. But there are patches on the web. The folllowing updates are made to fit for Debian. * string boundary patch. (http://d.hatena.ne.jp/flalin/about) * etherboot + syslog patch.
