Download (for example):
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz (Edgy)
or
http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/PXE-Installation (German) (10.04 Lucid Lynx)

Extract netboot.tar.gz to a temporary directory

copy /ubuntu-installer/

to /tftpboot/linux/

copy from /ubuntu-installer/i386/pxelinux.cfg/

rename the file default to ubuntu

and copy it to /tftpboot/linux/pxelinux.cfg/

Now you may start your Ubuntu Installation by setting the bootimage
'ubuntu':

in /tftpboot/linux/pxelinux.cfg/

Delete the symlink 'default':
rm default

Create new symlink to 'ubuntu' with name 'default':
ln -s ubuntu default

Check the file rights and owner:

Sets the owner of all files in the folder tftpboot to nobody:
sudo chown -R nobody:nogroup /tftpboot 

Now add the target computer in the 'opsi config editor'

Boot the target computer and choose something like 'boot from network'

If you want to use opsi for windows installations again you have to set the symlink 'default' back to default.nomenu:
rm default
ln -s default.nomenu default

opsi.org
