OK. It is already clearer, although I would prefer some of the info more "up front". I shall be happy to help, if we get it working. I have decided to give SALI yet another spin to see if I can sort it out. So far, the following seems clear: 1. SALI is builds on top of systemimager/systemconfigurator (from now just "si-suite"). 2. SALI provides costumized kernel and initrd, which includes commands which can be used for the installation process. These two are used for the initial install boot - and replaces the si_suite kernel&initrd (with or without UYOK). 3. SALI provides a sample installation script, which replaces the one generated by si-suite (si_getimage). Please correct me if I am wrong, but that is basically it. I need updated kernel/initrd and an updated script. Plus, updated pxelinux.cfg/<HEXIP> script to select the correct SALI kernel. > > >>> In our install script we use the the /dev/ names.
