> Debian has no provisions for booting iso images from a server. The regular live iso also fails to boot from HDD with loopback. As posted somewhere along the thread, it seems that debian's loopback kernel module must be extracted and placed on the HDD. Then one must interrupt the install, drop to a shell, load debian's loopback module, mount the debian iso with loopback and exit the shell. Only then will the iso-loopback install work.
I'm not claiming to be correct - it's just what I read and the iso file's behavior seems to support the theory. > The netboot images work just fine. (including live images) Yes, but this is a "minimal image" as I understand and additional binaries (for example if you want an lxde desktop) will be downloaded. That's fine for a single install, but requires re-download of same packages should one aim to install on several systems. If there is one, I have not come across a desktop (gnome/kde/lxde) live image+netboot iso file in the repository. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
