Title: [Sisuite-users] New Flavour

Format is webmail, sorry.

 

I think everyone uses mkautoinstallcd/mkautoinstalldiskette.  AFAIK mkbootpackage.pl is for creating custom kernel/initrd.img combos.  If you have a flavor it probably does not do what you want.

 

# mkautoinstallcd --help

Subject: [Sisuite-users] New Flavour

I used mkbootpackage.pl to make a new "flavour" but I can't figure out how
to use it. 

What tells the boot server to use the files in the new flavour directory
instead of the standard-flavour ones?

I've looked in what I consider all the obvious places (/etc/dhcpd.conf,
/tftpboot/*, manpages, the SIS manual pdf's...)  Help...
