PXE boot isn't really for the faint hearted. For a start you will need a Linux PC with a DHCP server and a proper PXE configuration/image.
You can copy files straight to the SD card - but watch out for file types (especially if you use a Windows machine to do it). One thing I haven't tried (as I use PXE) is inserting a HD in to a PC, installing Linux on it and then putting that HD in the 5501 box (assuming you want to keep it in there). I think I'll have to write a basic tutorial for Debian PXE installations. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robin Kipp Sent: 04 December 2008 17:44 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com Subject: Re: [Soekris] 5501 boot from cdrom Hi, > So there is only the netboot way? Thats not for a newbie like me ;) Well, most people say it isn't that hard and there are some tutorials on the Soekris wiki. What you can also do is install whatever os you want on the Compact Flash card using a normal computer and card reader, but I think you'd then have to modify the fstab file...
