Both the RedHat and Mandrake installers use a two-stage boot. I guess this is because they both have graphical installers (besides the text ones) one those thingies are space hogs. The first stage is text-only. The second stage is text or graphical. And it is actually the second one that I was able to NFS-mount. Because D-I doesn't have the notion of first/second stage, all that is possible is to modify the netboot-initrd.gz via mount -o loop and PXE-boot it. I figured out how to do that in the meantime. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
