I've become sick and tired of hand-crafting menu.cfg files for menu.c32, and if you try and make your life easier by making lots of small files that include each other (like boot.kernel.org does) the load time gets a little too slow for my liking.
There are obviously projects like pxeknife that do a lot of this work for you, and for 90% of the tasks you want to do, netboot.me/boot.kernel.org "do the job" - but I'd quite like to replicate this on my own, being able to select though a web interface or similar the kinds of things I want to include, the versions I want, the kickstart files etc I want, and most of all - to make my life lazier =) I've seen a few attempts at generating these files out on the web, but by and large they fill "someone else's need" and don't have the kind of customisability your modern netbooting environment requires. Does anyone else have this itch? Does anyone else want to help scratch it? I was thinking we could knock together something as a team and replicate some of the netboot.me functionality, but not tied to the Google App Engine so that it's: a) Easy to fork b) Easy to maintain c) Able to act as a beacon, shouting "look how cool netbooting is!" Any takers? M NB) I mean no disrespect to the boot.kernel.org team etc, they do a fantastic job - but I was hoping for something that was a little more... SysAdmin friendly. _______________________________________________ ipxe-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ipxe.org/mailman/listinfo/ipxe-devel
