The docs / config file are a little too subtle for me ( or perhaps Im =
more of a newbie than I want
to believe )...anyway Ive got a mediaMVP client, and Im interested in =
having it download its image
with bootp / tftp...I see the DHCP-BOOT parameter in the config file...
Is the 1st parameter the image name to load ?
Is the 2nd parameter the name of a separate tftp server ?
Is the 3rd parameter the ip address of the machine that is booting ( =
with image in para # 1 ) ?
Or is 3rd parameter the ip address of the separate tftp server ( para # =
2 ) ?
Does Dnsmasq provide its own tftp server ?
If I have to have a separate tftp server, what if it is running on the =
same machine as dnsmasq ?
Thanks
Dave
