Whole document tree 4. The one true wayWe use the debian 'potato' (2.2) release as an example. The procedure should be similar no matter which distribution you choose, providing it will run on a 2.0.35 kernel. Create the directories for the kernel and file system on your server, mount and copy the files from the Compaq CD. Unpack the file system (Here I use some pre-made tar balls of the debian release, here is not the place to discuss further):
Configure DHCP by adding a section like this to your /etc/dhcpd.conf Change the ethernet address to that of your T1500.
Configure a new host in DNS
Export the root file system by adding
to /etc/exports Configuring tftp by adding/altering a line to /etc/inetd.conf
Now restart inetd,dhcpd,nfs and named Configure the file system by setting the root password to 'pass', exposing telnetd /exports/T1500/root/etc/passwd, alter 1st line: root:Z/U2u32VhNJoA:0:0:,,,:/root:/bin/bash /exports/T1500/root/etc/inetd.conf, add: telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd Append remote terminals to /etc/securetty to allow remote root access.
Select network booting on the T1500 and reboot it. Once it has booted, you should be able to telnet into the T1500. At ths point, you shoudl configure SSH, and close the telnet hole in inetd. |
