Do we really need this and the previous telnet server in our source?
to be fair, Windows does provide a command line TFTP client/server. So
far, I've only seen it used for malware spreading, but it's there and we
should provide one too
Where I work we use dhcpd/tftp and PXEboot on both Linux and Windows
to do automagical deployment services. The end goal with all of this
is a ReactOS deployment system from a single image that can provision
ReactOS thinkclients/diskless workstations without the need of a Linux
or Windows host.
Pushing out a freeldr or grub+freeldr or even pxelinux+grub+freeldr
image with a blob containing a ROS ramdisk should be pretty simple
using isc-dhcpd/tftp on Linux but I'm more interested in the
infrastructure side of things right now. Currently the dhcpd with PXE
support is the only part we are really missing. We COULD do it from
Linux or Windows right now, but I want to get all the infrastructure
in place where we don't need any other OS.
Thanks
