Setting up of tftp Server on Linux

To have tftp service enabled on your "Technology rich Idiot Box" use the following steps:

Download the tftp package based on Linux flavor from site like:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=3&search=tftp-server&srodzaj=3

It might have some dependencies for different packages like:
xinetd services
(It can again be downloaded from rpm.pbone site )

Once all the required dependent service RPMs are downloaded, install them using the command on terminal as:
rpm -ivh xinetxxx..i386.rpm
(optional use -U option to update the RPM)

and finally:
rpm -ivh tftp-serverxxx.i386.rpm

Reboot the PC/Lappy for tftp services to be up..
