• Make sure the package for TFTP server is installed.
• Prepare the directory and PXE boot loader for TFTP server

 [root@meego-global ~]#mkdir /tftpboot/
 [root@meego-global ~]#mkdir / tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
 [root@meego-global ~]#cp /usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0   /tftpboot

• Configure tftp service through xinet

Edit /etc/xinetd.d/tftp as below

 service tftp
 {
       disable = no     #enable the tftp server
       socket_type             = dgram
       protocol                = udp
       wait                    = yes
       user                    = root
       server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
       server_args             = -s /tftpboot     #set the tftp root dir is /tftpboot
       per_source              = 11
       cps                     = 100 2
       flags                   = IPv4
 }

• Enable auto start the tftp server when next time system reboot

 [root@meego-global ~]# ntsysv

• Install PXE kernel and initrd

For Fedora, there is existing PXE boot kernel and initrd, just use them. But for meego, you need create by yourself. Definitely you can refer to Fedora.
