[leaf-devel] RFC: Oxygen Network Boot HOWTO
David, List, I have written a howto on booting Oxygen from network. Only with NIC and boot ROM on the router, it should boot from tftp and dhcpd. The packages also loaded by tftp. The whole process made easy with David's Oxygen scripts that have been made network boot friendly. Thanks David. http://www.leaf-project.org/devel/hdlee/oxygen/doc/netboot/network-boot-howto http://www.leaf-project.org/devel/hdlee/oxygen/doc/netboot/oxygen.cfg http://www.leaf-project.org/devel/hdlee/oxygen/doc/netboot/std.conf I hope it would of use to someone. The document is still in a very alpha stage. Comments and suggestions are welcomed. Thank you in advance. Regards, -- H. D.

It'd be nice if you added a .txt extension to the file so that clicking on the link displayed the HOWTO in Mozilla rather than defaulting to downloading a binary/octet stream mime type. Also, when you do look at it in Mozilla, you can see the first few paragraphs weren't formatted with any carriage returns so that the lines are about 400 characters wide and we have to scroll sideways. Beyond asthetics, it'd be helpful if you said a few words about mknbi-linux which is where a lot of the meat an potatos happens. I'd not heard of it until seeing you use it. And if you could comment somewhere on the changes you made to oxygen.cfg that makes it load pacakges over the network. And finally, as far as useability goes, how do you back stuff up? I liked it, matthew --- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ___ leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel

Will be fixed on the next update. Just to prevent missing link if I fixed it right now. Sorry for inconvenience caused. Also I would like to convert this document to DocBook one day. Also, when you do look at it in Mozilla, you can see the first few paragraphs weren't formatted with any carriage returns so that the lines are about 400 characters wide and we have to scroll sideways. True, I wrote this using vim without applying any text formatting option. Thanks for the suggestion.

And if you could comment somewhere on the changes you made to oxygen.cfg that makes it load pacakges over the network. mknbi-linux was mentioned on the software requirement part, although nothing exist to explain it further. I'll add one. Also another nice idea to comment the changes to oxygen.cfg. And finally, as far as useability goes, how do you back stuff up? This is one thing that have not been finished. As previous message stated, this document is still in very alpha stage. I liked it, Thanks. matthew -- H. D.
