 ===== Journal =====
-The following is a log of steps I've taken.  Note that I don't use Linux on a daily basis.  Any terminal commands below are for my reference.
+Throughout my development efforts here with the Etherboot project, I've maintained a journal.  You'll find details of my progress, notable considerations, and links to my commits.  Or you can jump straight to my working branch [[http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/mdeck/gpxe.git;a=shortlog;h=skge|shortlog]].

-}</code> This configuration was made utilizing [[:twodhcpservers|this page]] and [[http://linux.die.net/man/5/dhcpd.conf|man dhcpd.conf]].  Hosts ''h1'' and ''h2'' are two different ethernet ports on the target.  After making changes: <code>$ /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart</code>
-  * Installed tftpd-hpa via SPM and configured
-    * Created ''/tftpboot'' directory
-    * Modified ''/etc/inetd.conf'' <code>tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /tftpboot</code>
-=== 20 May 2008 ===
-  * Tested ATA-over-Ethernet
-    * Changed dhcpd.conf: <code>
-# dhcpd.conf
-#
-ddns-update-style none;
-not authoritative;
-default-lease-time 600;
-max-lease-time 7200;
-ignore unknown-clients;

-subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
-  pool {
-	deny members of "c1";
-	range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.20;
-  }
-}
-</code> This is setup such that no IP is allocated, although the aoe boot will initiate for host ''h1''.  In this way, Windows will retrieve an IP from the proper DHCP server when it starts.  The DHCP server being configured exists on the AOE server only to establish AOE sessions.
-    * Configured my 'normal' DHCP server to ignore etherboot DHCP requests<code>dhcp-vendorclass=eth,Etherboot
-dhcp-ignore=eth</code>
-    * Followed additional AOE steps outlined in [[:sanboot:winxp|HowTo]]
-==== Week 1 ====
