So I have a few questions. I have already made the base part of making a
windows TFTPD running with memedisk. So that part works, but what I was
wondering, if there is a way to some how add an option to the config file.
What I have is something like this:
label winstall
kernel unattended/memdisk
append initrd=unattended/winstall.imz
That all works great, However, for each image, I have to have a separate imz
file. Is it possible to do something like:
label winstall
kernel unattended/memdisk
append initrd=unattended/winstall.imz /dell/2850/base.gho
And then retrieve the /dell/2850/base.gho at a later time as a DOS
environmental variable.
The last part of this is that in some cases, I do not have DHCP. So I was
wondering if there is a way to manually do the equivalent from a DOS prompt,
basically, a DOS TFTP client. I have googled for days looking for this, but
I can't find anything.
Thanks All!

(to gain access to SMB). If the imagefile fits into RAM on a ramdisk, Wget might also be usable to obtain the imagefile, if you have a FTP or HTTP server. a 16bit TFTP client seems to be located at smashco.com/wattcp/simplftp.zip As for retrieving arguments in DOS, in Syslinux there's a program mdiskchk (requires Memdisk was used) Alternatively, use coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/stuff/soft/specials/combined-drivecheck-memdisk-getargs.zip Where you store the Ghost executable itself, is your decision. I don't know how good Ghost is, or other comparable programs. Only used DriveImage before Symantec bought it and converted it into Ghost9/10 Bernd
