I was assigned to Yanbu for 3 days but before I left Jeddah, I got the opportunity to test
a laptop capable of pxe booting. Tried it to boot from tiny core terminal server but it didn't
boot also, using direct lan connection.
tiny core terminal server output
tftpd:can't open file
tftpd:can't open file
tftpd:can't open file
So, to check if the said laptop is really working, I setup up a tftp server on windows xp using
tftpd32. copy vmlinuz and tinycore.gz on it's boot directory like this;
D:\pxeserver\
tftproot\
boot\
menu.c32
pxelinux.0
pxelinux.cfg\
default
tinycore.gz
vmlinuz
And it work! I was able to boot tiny core from windows xp using pxe boot laptop.
