Hi all,
i' trying to set up my gentoo box to serve as an install server for gentoo. For that it needs to serve bootp clients. he only server i found in the portage tree that seems to contain such a thing is net-misc/netkit-bootpd but...
this one calls itself rpc.bootparamd when compiled and, as can easily be identified, is an rpc piece of network daemon. I didn't expect that and obviously, my bootp clients don't as well 
Instead, what i am looking for is he bootpd type of thing that would listen on port 67, which i think is what the BIOS based netboot feature would try to contact.
Do we have such one in the portage tree ?
thanks,
Smart |

OK...
I just learned that the ISC DHCPD should be able to server BOOTP |

but.... the emerge doesn't work. It seems a patch doesn't get applied successfully.
Anyways, is there more documentation to portage programming available than the one on the gentoo website ? |
