Install Netinstall

Hi…

Please advice how to install mikrotik netinstall on ubuntu 12.04 LTS.



Sareesh

you can use netinstall tool on linux hosts via wine. Note that netinstall will attempt to use port #69 (TFTP) to transfer files during network boot of installer on the router so you will have to run this via sudo.

on kubuntu i use this

$kdesudo wine netinstall.exe

When I try to run the command-kdesudo wine netinstall.exe on ubuntu 12.04 LTS, I get this reply

wine: cannot find L"C:\windows\system32\netinstall.exe"

Though I have downloaded netinstall 6.5 on desktop.

Wine requires X-Windows, which is not something that I want on my servers…

Any other way to netinstall a device which is now screwed up because of your failed software upgrades?
