Re: [uug] CD burning

[Lloyd Brown]

I've done it before with FC1, though it still used a boot cd of some 
kind, rather than using PXE.  I suspect it would be just about as easy 
with FC2.  All I really did was loop-mount (mount -o loop) the iso files 
into directories underneath the server's ftp directory, booted from the 
cd, and specified the source as the ftp server with the path to the 
directory containing the individual disk mount points.  Worked like a charm.

Now that I think about it, I did the same with Suse 9.0 once too.
I'd be willing to meet a bit before the InstallFest starts to try to get 
this working.  I'd like to try to do the PXE bootloading thing too, but 
I haven't ever been able to get it to work.  If anyone is able to do 
this, I'd like to see it in action.

If you need me to help, contact me off-list.  Otherwise, I'll just show 
up at 10:00.

We'll need to burn a bunch of CDs over the next week or two (SSS,
Knoppix, FC2, etc.).  If you're willing to burn and/or donate CDs,
please let me know off-list how you'd be able to help.
       

Any chance of having a PC or two at the install fest ready to serve
up network installs?
     

This is absolutely an excellent idea.  My experience has been that
network installs are much faster, especially if it's NFS and close by.
   

Can somebody take responsibility to head this up?  I think it's a great
idea if a person or two can volunteer to do it.
I have a box that we could do installs from, if someone can set it up.
