Accept IK terminal hostname from DHCP/DNS server ------------------------------------------------ Inside the IK diskless terminal chroot you find an /etc/hostname file. With some DHCP/DNS setups the hostname gets set during PXE boot and if /etc/hostname is missing, the hostname will be kept as is. If you want to use that feature: $ ik_shell (chroot)$ rm -f /etc/hostname (chroot)$ exit Generic Linux networks (isc-dhcp-server, bind): ----------------------------------------------- ToDo. Anyone can give good information on how to setup the DHCP/DNS services to make that work? Debian Edu ---------- In Debian Edu networks you can remove /etc/hostname inside the chroot and then the hostname gets set during PXE boot. Windows DHCP server ------------------- By default, the Windows DHCP server does not provide a hostname via PXE boot. So, in this case you should keep /etc/hostname. light+love, Mike Gabriel, 20120913
