which protocol is used in the remote installation of Linux OSes is it bootp ?


taco

yep. Bootp for the basic network ip address and tftp for downloading the
linux image.

Older Suns (at least SparcStation 5, 10 and 20) use RARP instead of BOOTP for remote boot.

Remote boot would use bootp and tftp, for certain.Remote installation could use manual, bootp, or dhcp for address assignment, depending on the installer for the particular distro.

Content transfer typically uses nfs, ftp, http, or smb, again depending on the installer.

Strictly speaking bootp/tftp could be an option for remote installation,but it would depend on the features of the installer, and it's probably not the only option if it is available.
