All Documentation about tftpd-bootp installation is from some place where sun doesn't shine

[Keijo Lampimaki]

I can't use tftpd-bootp to install ubuntu to another computer that has no other option to boot but PXE.
Client can't get ip address for first.
Documentation about this is worst i've seen "Do this, no do that" style of instructions.
Nothing mentioned on documentation works with 9.04

Hi,

The description of the package mention that it is not capable of be a tftp server for PXE booting. The description also mention alternative tftpd servers which has this capability.

Suggest the bug can be mark invalid or closed.
