| 22:26.55 | namit | i have created an initrd file for pxe but what kernel should i use |
| 22:31.56 | ScytheBlade1 | One that works? |
| 22:32.05 | ScytheBlade1 | Sorry, your question is very vauge |
| 22:33.48 | namit | well not quite sure difference between kernel and append section in conf |
| 22:36.13 | namit | i have created ramimage using mkinitramfs, but not sure what to do next |
| 22:37.09 | ScytheBlade1 | Now you need a kernel and a configured DHCP/TFTP server |
| 22:37.25 | namit | can i just use kernal that is on my desk? |
| 22:37.33 | namit | *desktop |
| 22:37.46 | ScytheBlade1 | Maybe |
| 22:37.58 | ScytheBlade1 | It has to be configured to PXE boot |
| 22:38.19 | ScytheBlade1 | Worth a shot to try at least |
| 22:38.32 | namit | what would i use if that does not work? |
| 22:39.03 | ScytheBlade1 | What would happen? It probably just wouldn't work |
| 22:39.06 | ScytheBlade1 | Which kernel is this? |
| 22:40.55 | namit | its a debian kernel, sorry had visitor over just gave them tea, now back to pxe server |
| 22:41.34 | ScytheBlade1 | I am not sure if it will work |
| 22:42.01 | ScytheBlade1 | What are you trying to do with PXE? |
| 22:42.09 | namit | k so initrd loads up after kernel? |
| 22:42.17 | ScytheBlade1 | Yes |
| 22:42.29 | namit | tyring to install windows |
| 22:43.08 | ScytheBlade1 | Install windows over PXE? |
| 22:43.10 | namit | i have a laptop with everything installed as i want it and new doing a copy and paste of the lot of the image to 10 more laptops |
| 22:43.49 | namit | yes just doing dd or decomression from tar to hard disk from a nfs or samba share |
| 22:44.12 | ScytheBlade1 | Why not just use a livecd, like Knoppix? |
| 22:45.45 | ScytheBlade1 | Knoppix even comes with it's own built-in PXE server |
| 23:00.06 | namit | just looked at knoppix, i have dedicated machine that it can hole everything for me |
| 23:19.27 | namit | So the kernel loads and then the initrd file? |
| 23:45.26 | ScytheBlade1 | Yup |
| 23:59.03 | namit | ScytheBlade1, and how do i figure out what should be in the append section of pxe config? |
