DEBIAN-EDU-PXEINSTALL(8)

πŸ“¦ version 2.13.2, in debian bookworm, debian trixie

πŸ’– DEBIAN-EDU-PXEINSTALL πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is debian-edu-pxeinstall, and she lives in section 8 of the manual (that's the admin tools girlies πŸ‘‘) β€” it's part of the Debian Edu Admin Tools collection. say it with me: pxe-install. iconic name, iconic job. ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

debian-edu-pxeinstall β€” literally the thing that creates the PXE installation framework for Debian Edu systems 🫢


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

debian-edu-pxeinstall

that's it. no flags, no arguments, no drama. you just run her and she works. main character energy fr fr πŸ’…


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe: this little script creates the PXE installation framework for Debian Edu systems, and it does it using a configuration template. she's not out here freestyling β€” she reads her settings from a file, and that file is:

/etc/debian-edu/www/debian-edu-install.dat

that's the default, the original, the blueprint πŸ¦‹

BUT β€” and this is the good part β€” you can override it. if you want your own custom settings instead of the template's, you drop a file with this exact name:

/etc/debian-edu/www/debian-edu-install.dat.local

and boom, your custom file takes over. your rules, your config, your era πŸ’…βœ¨

lowkey important: the names are exact. debian-edu-install.dat and debian-edu-install.dat.local, both chillin' in /etc/debian-edu/www/. don't be out here renaming things, bestie, she will not find them 😭
