# A.2. Get & setup the TFTP server

To get the network boot process operational, you need the TFTP service that provides the basic file system at boot time. Get Tftpd from http://tftpd32.jounin.net/. You must download the latest version in zip format. Unzip it and store it in your favorite place. Then, you must setup the monster.

- Run tftpd32.

- Click the Browse button.

- Browse to where you put your lifimage, highlight it and click Ok.

- Make sure the IP address below the directory is the one you gave to your PA-RISC box.

- Let tftpd32 open. The tftp server only runs when the GUI is displayed.

If you want to run it as a NT service, you have to download a Microsoft™ program. Please refer to the \ Tftpd32 FAQ.
