You can generate tar archives or hard disk images of the root filesystem from within ptxdist. Take a look into the "Image Creation Options" menu. After that, you can run "ptxdist images" and you will find the selected image in the images/ directory. Boot your laptop with NFS root (from the root/ directory in your project for example). Using the harddisk image with boot support and dd image's content onto laptop's harddisk. Thats the way I use for my x86 targets. Juergen -- Dipl.-Ing.
