atftpd doesn't understand backslashes

[Cedric]

Hi All,

I'm trying to boot a PC via PXE, so i can install windows 2000 on it. This 
process is described here:
http://oss.netfarm.it/guides/ris-linux.php
http://oss.netfarm.it/guides/ris-linux.pdf

I have installed the following packages:
atftpd tftp

After some trial-and-error i discovered kubuntu 7.04 keeps the directory from 
where tftpd reads here: /tftpboot. The files in the directory /tftpboot are 
found and read without problem, but when the windows installer asks the 
following file, atftpd can't find it:
\win2k\i386\txtsetup.sis

As the following test reveals, the problem is that the windows installer uses 
backslashes, and tftpd wants to see forward slashes:

cedric at athlon:/tmp$ tftp
tftp> connect 127.0.0.1
tftp> get pxelinux.0
Received 13554 bytes in 0.0 seconds
tftp> get /win2k/i386/txtsetup.sif
Received 380765 bytes in 0.3 seconds
tftp> get \win2k\i386\tctsetup.sif
Error code 1: File not found
tftp> quit
cedric at athlon:/tmp$

In the man file, i've found the option "-m remap-file". Can this be used to 
convert the backslashes into forward slashes? 

Technical info:
