Support is there, yes. But for diskless to work, or should I say, as system-config-netboot modifies, it adds modules, a flexible disklessrc init and related support files. Again, it was my mistake to refer to this as an "initrd" modification. I guess what I'm talking about is a replacement "mayflower" that does many other things. > Correct. It was a side effect of porting the installer to udev. Which leaves me with older developments, Rahul's modification of an older LiveCD/mayflower, etc... > What specific features do you need? As my original post, a single toolset build around Anaconda install-to-disk, like LiveCD/mayflower, but for RHEL 5 today (will adapt to newer Fedora developments for a future RHEL 6 when I have more time) ... - Can generate a Diskless initrd (disklessrc init, various network) - Can generate a ISO initrd (like mayflower's init, various fs/etc...) - Can generate a Disk initrd (more than just squashfs? new init) - Can generate a "Super" initrd (take various boot init= options) Additionally, I was going to add the following options in the new "Disk" initrd init (think flash/embedded): - Option to compare image checksums to TFTP server, update if different - Option to boot diskless if local boot fails (trap failures/set flag) -- Bryan J Smith - Senior Consultant - Red Hat GPS SE US mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +1 (407) 489-7013 (Mobile) mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (non-RH/ext to Blackberry) ----------------------------------------------------- For every dollar you spend on Red Hat solutions, you not only fund the leading community development re- source, but you receive the #1 IT industry leader in corporate value. http://www.redhat.com/promo/vendor/ -- Fedora-livecd-list mailing list Fedora-livecd-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-livecd-list
