Dear Wiki user,

The "DebianEdu/Documentation/Trixie/HowTo/NetworkClients" page has been changed by SerhiiHorichenko:
https://wiki.debian.org/action/diff/DebianEdu/Documentation/Trixie/HowTo/NetworkClients?action=diff&rev1=4&rev2=5

  === Configuring the PXE installation ===
  
  The PXE installation will inherit the language, keyboard layout and mirror settings from the settings used when installing the main server, and the other questions will be asked during installation (profile, popcon participation, partitioning and root password). To avoid these questions, the file {{{/etc/debian-edu/www/debian-edu-install.dat}}} can be modified to provide preselected answers to debconf values. Some examples of available debconf values are already commented in {{{/etc/debian-edu/www/debian-edu-install.dat}}}. Your changes will be lost as soon as {{{debian-edu-pxeinstall}}} is used to recreate the PXE-installation environment. To append debconf values to {{{/etc/debian-edu/www/debian-edu-install.dat}}} during recreation with {{{debian-edu-pxeinstall}}}, add the file {{{/etc/debian-edu/www/debian-edu-install.dat.local}}} with your additional debconf values.
+ 
+ Thanks to the new functionality of {{{debian-edu-pxeinstall}}} in the updated version of {{{debian-edu-config}}}, it is now possible to use different versions of network installers, not just the current one.
+ 
+ To add previous Debian versions into PXE, follow these steps:
+  1. Add appropriate lines for the desired Debian versions in {{{/etc/apt/sources.list}}}, for example, using {{{sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list}}}:
+ {{{
+ deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main
+ deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main
+ }}}
+  1.#2 Update the list of available packages: 
+ {{{
+ sudo apt update
+ }}}
+  1.#3 Install the required packages:
+ {{{
+ sudo apt install debian-installer-{11,12,13}-netboot-amd64
+ }}}
