To workaround the problem that "Slax as PXE server" is completely broken in SLAX v6.1.2, do this:




cd /tmp/
mkdir boot
cd /tmp/boot/
cp -rpv /boot/* .

my pxelinux.cfg/pxelinux.0 .

vi /tmp/boot/pxelinux.cfg/start
    (change the line that mentions)
            --tftp-root=/boot
    (to)
            --tftp-root=/tmp/boot/


    (and change the line that mentions)
            --dhcp-boot=/pxelinux.cfg/pxelinux.0
    (to)
            --dhcp-boot=/pxelinux.0


/tmp/boot/pxelinux.cfg/start
/tmp/boot/pxelinux.cfg/web/start




I recommend that Thomas M make these changes:


    - rename /boot/pxelinux.cfg/ to
             /boot/pxelinux/

    - move   /boot/pxelinux/default to
             /boot/pxelinux/pxelinux.cfg/default
                        (first creating the directory /boot/pxelinux/pxelinux.cfg/)

    - modify /boot/pxelinux/start
                - change the line       --dhcp-boot=/pxelinux.cfg/pxelinux.0
                               to       --dhcp-boot=/pxelinux/pxelinux.0





(okay, that didn't work either).  Alternate recommendatinos:

    - mv /boot/pxelinux.cfg/pxelinux.0 to
         /boot/pxelinux.0       
             (sorry...  I know that's not as clean, but that's the way it hasta work)

    - modify /boot/pxelinux/start
                - change the line       --dhcp-boot=/pxelinux.cfg/pxelinux.0
                               to       --dhcp-boot=/pxelinux.0


Basically, the directory structure ends up being;

    % find /boot/ -type f
    /boot/pxelinux.0
    /boot/vmlinuz
    /boot/initrd.gz
    /boot/chain.c32
    /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg
    /boot/pxelinux.cfg/default
    /boot/pxelinux.cfg/start
    /boot/pxelinux.cfg/web/start
    /boot/pxelinux.cfg/web/monkey



ALTERNATE SUGGESTION #3

    # http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX#Can_I_send_information_to_PXELINUX_via_special_options_in_the_DHCP_response.3F

    create /etc/dnsmasq.conf, add these lines:
        dhcp-option-force=208,f1:00:74:7e    # pxelinux.magic
        dhcp-option-force=210,/   # pxelinux.pathprefix


    or, in /boot/pxelinux.cfg/start, add this to the dnsmasq call:
        --dhcp-option=208,f1:00:74:7e
        --dhcp-option=210,/
