There may have several ways to install application software on PXE server. I am describing below about the procedure that I have followed to install program on PXE server those are accessible from PXE clients.
* Installation on PXE Server [#nf7ee1c6]
 - For example, I have installed OpenOffice.org on PXE servers
 - First download the source file (.tar file)
 - Extract the file using "tar -zxvf filename"
 - Enter to the directory that is created after extraction of the .tar file
 - Run the executable file (./setup)
 - Installation on Server is complete.
 - The path "/opt/openofficce.org3/program/soffice" is for the executable file of OpenOffice.org. It is noted that soffice is the executable file.
 - Make a link to soffice from $PATH i.e from /usr/bin. For tha do the following
 - cd /usr/bin
 - ln -s /opt/openofficce.org3/program/soffice  soffice
 - Run soffice (just type soffice on server)
* Installation on PXE clients [#e4ec902b]
 - cd /nfsboot/root/opt
 - cp -r /opt/openoffice.org .
 - cp -r /opt/openoffice.orgf3 .
 - cd /nfsboot/root/usr/local/bin
 - ln -s /opt/openofficce.org3/program/soffice  soffice
 - * Complete *
 - Enter any PXE client
 - type soffice from any where
Note. tube30 and tube21 are PXE servers. So we have to do same thing for both servers.
