2010-02-24Drop requirement for TFTP server support of 'tsize' option for PXE bootingFrans Pop
As of Lenny syslinux no longer requires that the TFTP server supports the 'tsize' option (see #570273). With thanks to Ferenc Wagner.
2010-02-22Update information on setting up a TFTP serverFrans Pop
tftpd-hpa can be run using inetd, but also as an independent daemon. Mention that and remove some of the technical detail as it should be set up correctly by default when installing the package.
