If you look at tftpboot setting , then he has used DEFAULT pxeboot TIMEOUT 10 LABEL pxeboot KERNEL vmlinuz APPEND initrd=initrd.lz boot=casper only-ubiquity netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.3:/opt/schoolos/ ONERROR LOCALBOOT 0 This option is the second option for Ubuntu Live CD which tell "Install Ubuntu/SchoolOS" - http://code.google.com/p/schoolos/source/browse/trunk/Ubuntu/images/text.cfg?r=23 If you remove only-ubiquity option for boot then you will be able to use LiveCD filesysystem over network. Please try to create setup. Next step, we can chroot into the filesystem and create users. I think this can be used for setting up diskless clients. Will work on this. You also work on this and report, I will be having my desktop for next 10 days so i cannot experiment. This is why i am not going with LTSP, This way we can create a Installation but DisklessBoot server which will show two option 1) Try Ubuntu/SchoolOS 2) Install Ubuntu/SchoolOS with first option user will be able to boot into ubuntu (like the setup present at CSE-IITD) and with second option user will be able to install schoolos/ubuntu/debian at his/her desktop/laptop via network.. @Kalpana - May you start looking at this idea ? -- ┌─────────────────────────┐ │ Narendra Sisodiya │ http://narendrasisodiya.com └─────────────────────────┘ -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
