| 00:00.17 | bashusr | PXE is still too much of a hassle |
| 00:07.04 | ScytheBlade1 | Once you understand what PXE is, it's actually incredibly simple |
| 00:07.09 | ScytheBlade1 | Userland can be a hassle though |

| 01:23.25 | bashusr | ScytheBlade1: oh setting up PXE is great |
| 01:23.33 | bashusr | just point it to a kernel and boom |
| 01:23.35 | bashusr | you're done... |
| 01:23.48 | bashusr | supporting a variety of hardware is somethign else... |
| 01:24.11 | bashusr | now i understand why most PXE implimentations are just for automatic install of an OS or something |
| 01:24.56 | bashusr | i was hoping to PXE boot every computer here, but i'd probably spend more time admining than i am right now... |

| 06:13.15 | Nirkus | bashusr: i am running about 70 computers diskless with one kernel and one NFS root file system and _NOT_ one NFS r/w share |
| 06:13.24 | Nirkus | the question is: what do you want? |
| 06:14.03 | Nirkus | i was running RHEL4 and we've just 'upgraded' to fedora core 6 |
| 06:14.15 | Nirkus | and the clients use a stateless concept |
| 06:14.36 | Nirkus | they are all in the same state if you reboot |
| 06:16.27 | Nirkus | we use so called 'configuration' targets which are a set of files to be copied to the client at boot time before the normal init process starts to get the subnet specific and hardware specific configuration |
| 06:16.51 | Nirkus | where the hardware specific configuration is just the xorg.conf |
| 06:20.31 | Nirkus | i've never configured wireless NICs in linux, but normal NICs are no problem |
| 06:20.31 | Nirkus | and with our solution, sound works :> |
| 13:12.27 | qdk_ | Do you i make an initrd without "installing" the kernel on the system im making the kernel on? |
