Jumping in with useful suggestions is *always* welcome! Do you have a pointer to a step-by-step tutorial on how to set up a tftp server and provision it with the necessary files for booting the debian installer? I’ve got a couple of dhcp servers running dnsmasq. I seem to recall that dnsmasq is capable of serving tftp, but I don’t remember where I read about it. Enjoy! Rick
