Hi, for the last week. I've been trying to setup ubuntu on one of my dell servers. However, I've burned about 6 cds, from 4 seperate ISO which all had good checksums. I think the cd rom in that server is toast, because they're all corrupt.

So, I figured it was time to setup a tftp-hpa for a nice netinst ubuntu server.

I setup tftp-hpa according to the ubuntu wiki, using xinitd to run it. However, each time I try and connect, and issue the get pxelinux.0 file, I get a permission denied error.

What's even more mind boggling, I stop xinitd, killall in.tftpd, etc... and the tftp server is still running. Which makes me think something isn't right.

My eyes are killing me from staring at text files for the last 24 hours, and I was hoping someone might have a better setup guide which I haven't been able to locate with my googlefoo skills.

If anyone might know how I screwed up, and couple provide some guidance, that would be awesome!
