We have a need to run diskless linux telco-grade engines for one of our projects. So far, I have found a wealth of information from the LTSP web site, in fact I am close to getting a diskless client up and running.
I have not done exhaustive research as yet, I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction here. For our needs we would NOT like to use NFS (to mount root), but rather just continue to use the RAM disk. My questions: 1 Can I reconfigure (possibly recompile) the ltsp kernel with the RAM disk (initrd) that it initially downloads with such that I can add/remove contents to the RAM disk. If so, is there a documented procedure to do this? 2 If so, what are my limitations in terms of size of kernel/RAM disk combined? 3 Needless to say, I would need to configure the kernel config files to not mount root over NFS and swap the original RAM disk root. Is there a procedure for this as well? Any suggestions? thanks, -Deepak ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
