Hi Pat, First, thanks for the great work and especially for new release yesterday! What i'm going to do is changing the code that you could run the entire unattended installation from a CD/DVD if no server is available. But without breaking the normal server-based installation process! The basic idea: i) changing isolinux.cfg that a prompt will be displayed and default boot option is localboot ii) changing the master script: - When it asks for the servershare you can also type something like /dev/hdd where hdd is your cd-drive. - If a device is given it will be mounted to z instead of the servershare iii) changing mapznrun.bat that it will use the cd-drive
What I need to test the changes is an isofs.ko module to mount the cd. I would be happy if you can send me one, so I dont have to get all the sources and recompile the whole linuxboot. The needed (for ide, scsi comes later) ide-cd module is at the share, so I can copy it manually for testing purposes. Besides only some small changes are needed, for example that teh master-script dies if no dhcp-lease is found. If I dont run into severe problems it would be sufficient to provide a script that unpacks the linuxboot.iso, changes isolinux.cfg and the master script (if the changes are not already included) and creates a new isoimage with the install directory included. If someone else is interested in this I would be pleased to get some comments and ideas!
