CentOS installation instructions

In this manual we will use CentOS 6.0 (also works on Fedora, RHEL) as an example:

Download ERPXE

Download erpxe.current.tar.gz at http://www.erpxe.com/download/.

Extract ERPXE to root "/" directory

tar -xvfz erpxe.current.tar.gz 

Install a TFTP Service

yum install -y xinetd tftp-server
chkconfig xinetd on
chkconfig tftpd on

Config TFTP service

Edit "/etc/xinetd.d/tftp"

service tftp
{
	disable			= no
	socket_type		= dgram
	protocol		= udp
	wait			= yes
	user			= root
	server			= /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
	server_args		= -m /tftpboot/er.remap -vvvvv -s /tftpboot
	per_source		= 11
	cps			= 100 2
	flags			= IPv4
}

Add Shares

Add HTTP support

yum install -y httpd
chkconfig httpd on
ln -s /tftpboot/er/shares/http /var/www/html/er

Add NFS support

yum install nfs-server
chkconfig nfs on

• The next step will overwrite your original /etc/exports !!!

cat /tftpboot/doc/setup/exports > /etc/exports

Add SAMBA support

yum install samba
chkconfig smb on

• The next step will overwrite your original /etc/samba/smb.conf !!!

cat /tftpboot/doc/setup/smb.conf > /etc/samba/smb.conf
