Hi Steven, First of all, thank you for this wonderful piece of software. I really love its functionality. I am trying to configure a server to PXE boot from another computer and then start its own "lite-server" for mass deployment. I am trying to pxe-boot because I can't carry USB flash drives to the DC where the server is located. So, I can have a PXE boot server in my laptop and network boot the server I want to image from, to start its own "lite-server" to mass deploy to the other servers. I can network boot the source server, and everything is fine. But I can't start the "Clonezilla live lite-server" with its own dhcp server dedicated to a particular interface. When I choose to start the live-lite server option, it asks me if I want to netboot the client machines or use local boot media or both. When I chose netboot or both, I get the option to start a new dhcpd service in LAN. But I don't get the option to start it dedicated to a particular interface. It seems to start the dhcpd service across all the interfaces. Which is something I don't want to do. I would like something like this. Laptop >>> PXE BOOT >>> |eth0 = SOURCE SERVER = eth1| >>> PXE BOOT >>> OTHER CLIENT SYSTEMS. Hope I could make you understand my requirement. I am using the clonezilla-live-20240715-noble-amd64.iso version. Thanks & regards, Richard. |

It seems to start the dhcpd service considering all the interfaces. Which is something I don't want to do. I would like something like this. Laptop >>> PXE BOOT >>> |eth0 = SOURCE SERVER = eth1| >>> PXE BOOT >>> OTHER CLIENT SYSTEMS. Hope I could make you understand my requirement. Thanks & regards, Richard. |

Maybe you can share us your pxelinux.cfg so that we can give it a try here. BTW, in addition to mailing list, people use Clonezilla forum more frequently: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/ Next time maybe you can use that. It's actually easier for others to reply and refer in the future. Steven On 2024/8/29 14:30, Richard Chang wrote: > Hi Steven, > > First of all, thank you for this wonderful piece of software.
