And I do not have a NIC which can boot and install from a TFTP server. I would like to install Debian Squeeze on old PC by using new PC. My plan is • To plug a new hard drive on the new PC as a slave and create a partition on it where I will put the installation files • To install GRUB on that hard drive to boot that install partition. Ubuntu / Debian Linux: Install and Setup TFTPD Server last updated July 19, 2013 in Categories Debian / Ubuntu, Networking, Ubuntu Linux H ow do I install and configure TFTP server under Debian or Ubuntu Linux server to configure networking equipment such as remote booting of diskless devices or remote loading of Unix like operating systems.
There are three options for installs over the network:
Small CDs or USB sticks
The following are image files.Choose your processor architecture below.
For details, please see: Network installfrom a minimal CD
Tiny CDs, flexible USB sticks, etc.
You can download a couple of image files of small size, suitable forUSB Sticks and similar devices, write them to the media,and then start the installation by booting from that.
There is some diversity in the support for installing from variousvery small images between the architectures.
For details, please refer to theinstallation manual foryour architecture, especially the chapterObtaining System Installation Media

Big beat records. The trip doesn't stop with 'Lay Low'.
Here are the links tothe available image files (look at the MANIFEST file for information):
Network boot
You set up a TFTP and a DHCP (or BOOTP, or RARP) server which willserve the installation media to machines on your local network.If your client machine's BIOS supports it, you can then boot the Debianinstallation system from the network (using PXE and TFTP), and proceedwith installing the rest of Debian from the network.
Not all machines support booting from the network. Because of theadditional work required, this method for installing Debian is notrecommended for novice users.
For details, please refer to theinstallation manual foryour architecture, especially the chapterPreparing Files for TFTP Net Booting

Today I tried to install a tftp server to setup a PXE server on a virtual machine (powered by VMware ESX 4) for our network to ease server installation. The base installation (Debian 7.5.0 x64) worked flawless but when I hit the commands to install tftpd-hpa with aptitude the installer ran into an error.
I tried to reconfigure the package and also to remove it completely (using purge option) and reinstall from scratch but both options didn't work. Since the two most obvious troubleshooting methods didn't work I took a close look at the actual output. The installer calls user add which executes groupadd in order to create the group 'tftp' but that ends in an error.
I was wondering what happens if I directly execute that program so I went on and entered the follow line on the CLI:
As the error message wasn't really helpful I looked into syslog and dmesg for more information.
dmesg:
syslog:
I don't know how to proceed and I'd like to avoid using back-ports if possible, but of ours I'll do that if I have to.Has anybody experienced a similar issue bevor or does someone have an advise where I could look for additional error message/troubleshooting steps?
Alls tipps, links, questions I might have missed (sorry if so) are very welcome.Thanks for taking the time and your effort.
