tftp boot images question
Hi all. On ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-sparc/current/sun4u/ and ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-sparc/current/sun4cdm/ you can find tftp boot images. I am looking for tftp boot images of the debian installation system (I want to install systems without CD/floppy). Are these images what I need or are these images for use with diskless workstations - needing NFS access to the server? Thanks, Hartwig

Thanks, Hartwig Yes, these are exactly what you need if you have a sun4 machine. Follow the tftp setup instructions, then when you boot your machine (using 'boot net') they will be used to start the installation process. Everard

Read the install docs for how to use them. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ WatchGuard - http://www.watchguard.com/
