Greetings,

I am ready to set up a permanent PxE server using TCL.  My problem has to do with persisence.  I have read the wiki and searched the forums but the more I read the more confused I get.  Much of the information I find seems to apply to older versions of TCL.  What I need is a clear explanation of how to set up TCL to automatically start the terminal server at boot time with all the required settings in place.  I want it to start with the modified menu.c32 'default' menu and the related support files (boot images) already in place.

I would be most grateful for any assistance.

Mys suggestion is to use dnsmasq to do your dns, dhcp, and tftp.
Configure it to serve files off your hard drive.

Hi gerald_clark - Thanks for the quick reply.  I played with dnsmasq quite a bit and it looks good - but what I need now is help with persistence and auto-start.  Once I have those mastered the sky's the limit.

Hi gmc
Add the commands you use to start the PXE server to your /opt/bootlocal.sh file. Add any config files you modified to
/opt/.filetool.lst.

You can add startup code to /opt/booltocal.sh.
