Dear All, My 901 has just arrived and I'm enthusiastic about getting Debian running on it. Thanks in advance to all the people who have been making this possible.
I've always used PXE network booting to start the Debian installer, rather than a CD or USB flash drive. I find this method quick and easy, but since this wasn't mentioned as an option on the Debian Eee wiki I had guessed that it wasn't possible on the Eee. However, my 901 definitely has PXE as an option (once you have found the right BIOS settings) and it has just booted into an old Debian installer it found on my tftp server (predictably, it gets as far as "no ethernet card was detected"). So, am I the first to try to do this (I don't find any mention of PXE in the list archives), or has someone else been here before? Does anyone know what I have to do to convert the project's custom installer to work with PXE? I've never really looked at what's inside the Debian network installer, but I have the impression that there's just a kernel, an initrd.gz and some config files. Any thoughts? Cheers, Phil. _______________________________________________ Debian-eeepc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-eeepc-devel
