hello all,
fairly simple request, i need the rpm's (components, add ons, w/e) for a dhcp server, a tftp server, and something called syslinux. obviously for use with ubuntu 7.10
past that i should be ok, or if not ill be sure to come back. but as it stands every time ive tried to install a package supposedly for ubuntu it doesnt work with my paticular distro. oh its the desktop edition incase that makes any diffrence.
Jump to Postgoogle for LTSP

its easier with edubuntu
that would void the goal of the excercise. i want a diskless install... and as each machine goes through 3 low level data wipes before its imaged to ensure any data is gone to then go back and install a mini os to have to delete it again doesnt make alot of sense, especially when its on the scale im trying to do it on. thats why i went for this option as opposed to the LTSP route.
all i need, is the tftpd and syslinux rpms for ubuntu 7.10 ..... internet update is not possible due to network restrictions, so i have to download them myself and transfer them via a flashdrive..
ubuntu uses DEB packages natively, not RPM.
