NAME

       x2gothinclient_preptftpboot  - Prepare PXE/Syslinux Boot Environment (delivered via tftpd)
       on X2Go PXE Server.

SYNOPSIS

       x2gothinclient_preptftpboot

DESCRIPTION

       This helper script prepares X2Go's PXE/Syslinux boot environment. As X2Go PXE server you
       can either use your X2Go server itself or a dedicated machine or VM that merely serves as
       PXE boot server.

       Please run the x2gothinclient_create helper script first before you run this script.

       This script can only be called if the PXE boot dir (default: /srv/tftp) does not already
       contain any other PXE/Syslinux boot environment.

MANUAL STEPS AFTER SCRIPT HAS RUN

       At the end of x2gothinclient_preptftpboot 2-3 manual steps are still needed (as displayed
       by the script itself when run)... The $TC_* variables mentioned in the text below have to
       be obtained from /etc/x2go/x2gothinclient_settings.

           1. Make sure your DHCP server's configuration points to:

               next-server <IP-or-hostname-of-this-server>;
               filename '/pxelinux.0';

           2. Export the X2Go Thin Client chroot environment via NFSv3:

             * Add this line to /etc/exports... (in one line):

               $TC_CHROOT \         <network>/<netmask>(ro,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)

             * ... and then restart your NFS server with:

               /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

           3. Customize PXE/Syslinux files in $TC_TFTP_BOOT/ (optional):

             * customize PXE boot menu, take a look at

               $TC_TFTP_BOOT/default.cfg

               and proceed from there on...
             * use your own boot loader background image: 640x480px,
               16bit colour depth, file: $TC_TFTP_BOOT/x2go-tce.png
