 leslie is configured to offer a Debian Etch or Debian Lenny installer via the network (via tftp) in our Telehouse location (see steps to do this in [wiki:pxeboot_from_naomi XO/Bandcon]).

 If you would like to use it, follow these steps:
 
- * Login to leslie as root.
- * Run /root/bin/enable-pxe-netboot
- * Find the network cable plugged into the bottom network card on leslie (leslie is the bottom-most server in the cabinet). It should not be plugged into anything. 
+ * Find the network cable plugged into the bottom network card on kiyoshi. 
  * Plug this cable into the nic of the server you want to install debian on.
  * Configure the target server to boot from the network device
  * You should be all set. Note: when the debian installer begins, you can unplug the network cable, and plug in a cable connecting the server to the real network for the completion of the installation.
- * Lastly, run /root/bin/disable-pxe-netboot on leslie.

-NOTE: booting to lenny is currently broken since the [http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/i386/ available initrd at the moment (2008-10-21)] uses kernel 2.6.24 whereas the lenny archives only have kernel modules for 2.6.26.
