Title: Netbooting TCL
Post by: KHarvey on April 17, 2012, 01:07:23 PM

Currently I have a deployment of around 50 TCL systems, but they are all booting using prebuilt USB sticks.  Whenever I make a change I have to go to all 50 systems and update the manually.
While digging around in the Wiki the other day I found the article on how to setup Netbooting.  This in theory would be the answer to all of my wordly issues.

But following the Wiki it states that I need to use TC-Terminal-Server but that does not appear to exist in the repository.  My ideal solution would be to be running TCL for the boot server and have all the clients connect to it to download their OS and packages.

Is this still possible in TCL?  Is there another set of steps that I should be looking at?

Hi KHarvey
It can be found in ControPanel, at least under TC4.1.

Of course it would be something that simple.  I rarely use the control panel.

Thanks for the response.

You can netboot TCL off any pxe/tftp/nfs server.
I use a CentOS server myself.
