Bad archive mirror using PXE boot method
- by user11566
I'm trying to automatically install Ubuntu on a client PC by using the PXE BOOT method....my Objectives are below:
I am following the steps given in this link installation using PXE BOOT
the server will have a KICKSTART
config file which contains the
parameters for the OS installation
and the files which are required for
the OS installations.
the client will have to detect this
configuration along with the setup
files and complete the installation
without any input from the user.
In my server I have installed DHCP3-server,Apache2 and TFTP to help me with the installation.
I have nearly achieved my first objective, I am able to boot my client using the files stored in the server but during the installation stage it is asking me to
CHOOSE A MIRROR OF UBUNTU ARCHIVE
I gave the server's IP address and the path in the server where the files are located but then its giving me this error
BAD ARCHIVE MIRROR
So is it possible that instead of
downloading all the files from the
internet and storing them on my disk
can I use the files which comes with
the UBUNTU-CD, and how to store these
files in what format (should I zip
them) on the disk?
secondly I am also generating the
ks.cfg which I wanted to give to the
client for automatic installation of
the OS. So how should the
configuration file be given to the
installation process?
