As per http://jengelh.hopto.org/f/opensuse-netboot.diff, it mounts the path (hardcoded - not so good - /daten/tftpboot/linux) from the NFS server (advertised by dhcpd - good) and combines it with a zeroed local partition LABEL=tmp (if available) or with tmpfs, to store changed data, and continues like a normal system. Contrary to implementations like "DXS" or KIWI (which I have not tried though), this uses a suse initrd and _not_ a "distro-independent" custom solution, because such often are not "100% nice" ;-) >I need to see how the remote system has the stuff to be mounted via NFS >set up. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
