Answer 1

I found this useful.

Excerpt:

1. Install tftpd and related packages.
   $ sudo apt-get install xinetd tftpd tftp
   
2. Create /etc/xinetd.d/tftp and put this entry:
   service tftp
   {
   protocol = udp
   port = 69
   socket_type = dgram
   wait = yes
   user = nobody
   server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
   server_args = /tftpboot
   disable = no
   }
3. Make /tftpboot directory
   $ sudo mkdir /tftpboot
$ sudo chmod -R 777 /tftpboot
$ sudo chown -R nobody /tftpboot
   
4. Start tftpd through xinetd
   $ sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd start
