Hello all,
Working on PelicanHPC, I have found that ISO images always boot on diverse
hardware, but that the same configuration used to make a netboot image
sometimes fails to boot. I personally have seen the netboot image fail on a
Dell desktop machine, while loading firewire drivers. Users

existing settings. However, I still have the problem where if I add it
to the package

I have problems booting DebianLive via NFS.
you need to provide a bit more information.. such as:
which version of live-helper did you use?
which version of live-initramfs?
did you build an image for etch, lenny or sid?

Hello
This patch (against a22) allows me to netboot over http or ftp.
This is not complete, it requirtes a wget binary without ssl support
in the initrd.
I did not try to figure out how to add stuff to initrd, just repacked
it manually.
I used wget without ssl because openssl libraries

Thank. I know this. But if You carefully read previous mail, I

I was impling to r2471, not your patch, so it has a reason that i asked.

first of all, thanks for your contribute to debian-live, second I saw you
