I was made aware of Slitaz by a friend of mine and now I would like to look into the (g)PXE install possibilities of Slitaz. Therefore I downloaded a LiveCD image (stable) and wanted to follow the PXE guide found under documentation. Unfortunately, I stumbled right into the first problems:
-> I can't set a fixed IP address within the Static IP tab of the Netbox Manager. :-( -> There is no Server tab shown in the Netbox Manger. :-(
Am I doing anything wrong or do I need to use a differend LiveCD?
I guess one should detail the problem more intense: There is indeed a network manager.But in case a static IP is given and the ,,start" button is pressed the device is shutdown and started anew, but this IP is not taken and therefore not in use. Slitaz has been booted from the Live-CD. The problem occurs under ,,tux" as well as under ,,root".
Since SliTaz 3.0 the Netbox application is splitted in Netbox and Serverbox. If you are running a rescent SliTaz version, please read Serverbox application instead of Server tab below
As for the netbox problem: Researching the netbox script I found that there are massive problems with the parameter expansion (single-quoted, double-quoted and 'escaped') While in the 2.0 version of netbox (at least) the static IP part worked, with the change to functions within the 3.0 netbox script the parameter expansion happens to early.
I'll attach a 'diff' of what I changed to get (at least) the static IP to work. Can't garantee the ppp, pptp, vpn stuff, but maybe somebody can pick up the thread and look into those parts.
