In all honesty just pxeboot(8) should be enough if you just want to boot a bsd.rd type kernel to install from. > Yes i red it as well as the FreeBSD handbook section about PXE. You can probably ignore a lot of the freebsd info, their boot loader is rather more complicated.. for OpenBSD it's a simple 'setup tftpd and dhcpd' job with no recompiling. > So my idea is to install bsd system then install gnome then tar the > installed system make img from tar. Writing out the pkg_add command (see rc.firsttime) is probably more straightforward than building an image of packages, especially if you need to adjust to a newer version later. I would just put the local config files etc in the tar. Or some people prefer diskless(8) i.e. no local data on workstations, just run all the systems from an nfs share.
