# Automated linux installation for hardware4future
|
|
This repo is for resources related to automated installation of linux on devices that are to be donated to others in the context of the project hardware for future.

## PXE boot
|
|
- Installing debian via pxe boot is done via serving the contents of netboot.tar.gz via tftp, follow the [official docs](https://wiki.debian.org/PXEBootInstall#Provide_the_boot_image).
|
|
+ We tried the dnsmasq way: no other tftp/dhcp server necessary. It worked.
|
|
- Unfortunately Linux Mint doesn't officially support PXE boot. We are currently trying the way in [ubuntu netboot docs](https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/how-to/installation/how-to-netboot-the-server-installer-on-amd64/).
|
|
+ Caution: don't serve the files for legacy boot, even our "old" hardwares are too new to support that. We need UEFI booting.
|
|
+ It allows serving a whole iso via HTTP. Can we serve the lmde7 iso this way?
|
|
+ So far without success. It seems the efi files we prepped do not like to linux mint iso.
