Running MRTG on unRAID

MRTG or "Multi Router Traffic Grapher" is a tool to graplicy display stats for your router, server or pretty much anything you want to monitor via SNMP.
It's published under the GNU General Public License which means you can do most things you want with this software as long as you do not claim you created the software and don't sell it.
So I tough it would be fun to run this on my unRAID server, so here is how I did.

Installing CentOS via local FTP using PXE and unRAID

So I have my unRAID server serving PXE requests, now what? Well: install CentOS of course!
CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution and they have created some nice tools to be able to create a PXE installation environment, here is how I did it.

Using unRAID and DD-WRT to create a PXE boot server

For a while if been struggling with the idea to create a PXE server in my network. It annoys me carrying USB sticks or DVD's around in my local network, especially since I have a unRAID (Slackware 12 running from a USB stick) server running 24/7.

So I went and made myself a PXE server.
