I found Joey's daily d-i builds;-) I actually spent quite a bit of tine looking for something like it on the website, and failed.
I didn't see anything specifically for diskless installs, so I burned a CD-RW using the cdrom-2880.img file, but then discovered my test machine won't boot the CD-RW. Lacking better information, I setup my network boot to use vmlinuz and net-initrd.gz. btw It seems to me these daily builds aren't very daily:-\ -rw-rw-r-- 1 summer 1474560 Nov 8 06:23 cdrom144-1440.img -rw-rw-r-- 1 summer 747753 Nov 8 06:23 cdrom144-initrd.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 summer 2949120 Mar 14 20:13 cdrom-2880.img -rw-rw-r-- 1 summer 1815642 Nov 8 06:20 cdrom-initrd.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 summer 1474560 Nov 8 06:26 net-1440.img -rw-rw-r-- 1 summer 759793 Nov 8 06:26 net-initrd.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 summer 669626 Nov 8 06:27 vmlinuz Once I got to the menu, I tried to configure my network using DHPC. It then looped with lots of messages about Network Hardware Configuration postinst exited with status 256 kmod: failed to exec sbin/modprobe -s -k eth0, errno = 2. The network module I need is present, and when I "modprobe eepro100" it loads. Having done that, I find myself in static network configuration. . I typed a bunch of values, and all it does is loop over the questions. It would, I think, be a good thing for d-i to parse "ip=" if present. -- Cheers John Summerfield Please, no off-list mail at all at all.
