| 15:17.56 | hbalanzar | Hello guys, after a whole night info well your topic answers my main question "no ISO over PXE". So is there other way to load a linux image with X into a diskless PC so it can connect to a Terminal Services server? |
| 15:20.37 | ScytheBlade1 | Depends on the image, and your desires to hack at it. :) |

| 15:29.42 | hbalanzar_ | well I was trying DSL, over virtual pc and w2k3 it works great when booting from a captured image, but when I try to load it by pxe well it crashes |
| 15:31.07 | hbalanzar_ | my configuration works fine with floppy images, so it's working. Any hint on what to hack? I'm kinda lost |
| 15:36.17 | ScytheBlade1 | This is just straight linux? |
| 15:38.40 | hbalanzar_ | server side is on w2k3, thinclients would be DSLinux accessing Terminal Services with RDP |
| 15:39.01 | ScytheBlade1 | And you've PXE booted stuff from the w2k3 server before? |
| 15:39.43 | hbalanzar_ | yes my config is working it's able to load floppy images |
| 15:39.57 | ScytheBlade1 | How much do you know about the linux boot process? |
| 15:40.44 | hbalanzar_ | quite enough, I had worked with debian, redhat etc |
| 15:41.05 | hbalanzar_ | not an expert but I can find my way reading |
| 15:41.11 | ScytheBlade1 | So you can manually stitch together an initrd? |
| 15:41.36 | ScytheBlade1 | Cause you might have to :) |
| 15:42.32 | hbalanzar_ | not afraid to hehe :/ I found a work wich loads from initrd |
| 15:42.38 | hbalanzar_ | on DSL1.5 |
| 15:42.57 | ScytheBlade1 | In short |
| 15:43.12 | hbalanzar_ | http://cdprojekte.mattiasschlenker.de/Public/DSL-frominitrd/1.5-0.0/ |
| 15:43.27 | ScytheBlade1 | You boot pxelinux --> linux kernel --> ... wait, that's really all that PXE cares about |
| 15:43.43 | ScytheBlade1 | Oh |
| 15:43.44 | ScytheBlade1 | heh |

| 15:43.48 | ScytheBlade1 | enjoy |
| 15:44.41 | hbalanzar_ | hehe ok I just wanted to check prior to work that it's possible to achieve my goal |
| 15:45.11 | ScytheBlade1 | Anything is possible, it depends entirely upon how much you care :) |
| 15:45.41 | hbalanzar_ | I assume you know this other work since I'll be trying it too http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/f/topic-3-26-15960-0.html |
| 15:46.17 | ScytheBlade1 | That's the general idea yes |
| 15:47.09 | hbalanzar_ | well I'll give it a go and see where it goes to |
