Hi, We need to boot our diskless single board Linux over the network. I have some queries regarding Netboot: (1) Where is compressed OS image TFTPed as part of BootP. Is RAMDISK created and image is kept in that and then decompressed and loaded in RAM? (2) We need to bring our application files also to the card. Is it easy enough to modify the code so that information about required files comes in vendor specific field of BootP reply and then these application modules are TFTPed along with the OS image. (Is RAMDISK available at this point?) These applications can then be executed as part of init. Or is there any better way of getting application modules to the card and executing them. How is this generally done in embedded Linux systems? Any help is appretiated. Thanks, Piyush
