Or is the trick done by the --method=http? Anyway, Debian has such an option and I think it would be very valuable if such an initrd.gz/vmlinuz would be available from the Devuan mirrors. This will make Devuan being available through many PXE boot servers accross the planet. That said, I think it should be part of the Devuan distribution. Each time a new version sees the light, the appropiate vmliz/initrd.gz pairs should be generated for each available cpu. Try it yourself and see how it works when you start one of these kernels: amd64: wget -N http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz wget -N http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/linux i386: wget -N http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/i386/initrd.gz wget -N http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/i386/linux No need for cd's, no need for USB sticks, just a network connection.
