thanks you for pointing me there. Funny enough i found that parameter also with live-initramfs - it just get so ignored afterwards; I'll hook in a screenshot, hoping this list allows that. the kernel line goes like this: label install-ipmi kernel vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64 append initrd=initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64 live-netdev=eth1 ethdevice=eth1 ip=dhcp serial console=ttyS1,19200n8 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/attic/PXEBOOT/nfsroot boot=live FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt FAI_ACTION=install ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ De informatie opgenomen in dit bericht kan vertrouwelijk zijn en is uitsluitend bestemd voor de geadresseerde.

However since this system needed to be in production, i got to talk someone trough the remote install by phone, enabling me to carry on working. Meaning i don't have a spare box now to try grlm on. Well, when a new box comes along i will give grml an spin! Thank you again for pointing out grlm, regards, Vincent
