13:07.13bAndie91hi
13:07.30bAndie91is this pxe boot loader channel?
13:08.11bAndie91i wish to create a diskless linux client
13:08.11bAndie91how can i start it?
13:23.06spqhm
13:23.30spqeither your bios supports pxe booting or you have to use something like etherboot
13:24.07spqyou could place etherboot on a floppy, or something else from which you can boot
13:25.04spqthats the first stage, the second one is to create a linux kernel suitable for your needs which gets booted by pxelinux
13:25.21spqyou have to setup a dhcp server and a tftp server for this to work
13:25.50spqthen the next step is to create a nfs root, it will be the / of your diskless client and mounted by the linux kernel
13:26.21spqthere you can put in any distro, you can put debian by simply using debootstrap
