Configuring a Trivial File Transfer Protocol service
You can use the TFTP to provide a bootable image during a network installation.
There are several implementations of TFTP daemons available. The standard
TFTP daemon is called
tftpd. In general, the xinetd or inetd super daemons are
used to create a TFTP daemon. You can also run a TFTP daemon without one of
the super daemons.
Install the tftp-server rpm if it was not installed by default, create a /tftpboot
directory if does not exit, and set the tftp service to disable=no. For example, on
SLES11:
1. Type yast on the command line to start the YaST tool.
2. Scroll down to Network Services.
3. Select TFTP Server on the right side and press Enter.
4. In the new window, select Enable and create /tftpboot in the Boot Image
Directory section as shown in Figure C-1.
