| 02:46.34 | FrooFroo_ | I've done something with PXE booting that I believe has not been done before |
| 02:53.10 | panzer | which is? |
| 02:53.51 | FrooFroo_ | installing windows 2k3 without using unattended or a RIS emulation |
| 02:55.25 | panzer | and how did you do it? |
| 02:55.53 | FrooFroo_ | I use memdisk to boot the installer CD .iso, which maps it to a ramdisk |
| 02:56.27 | FrooFroo_ | and I used the winvblock ramdisk driver hacked into the text mode setup to recognize the ramdisk as an install device |
| 02:57.40 | FrooFroo_ | and then it reboots into the graphical mode, and I let the "press any key to boot from CD" timeout after the RAMdisk loads again, which defaults to a local hard disk boot and finishes the setup |
| 02:58.26 | panzer | cool |
| 03:01.39 | FrooFroo_ | it can also handle 64 bit installs |
| 03:02.38 | panzer | hmm |
| 03:03.52 | FrooFroo_ | I have a wiki style walkthrough for the process |
| 03:08.27 | Rask | Hey guys. :o Not real sure where to ask this, but I'm looking for a decent way to boot a linux system by PXE that uses a SMB share as its persistent storage... where's a good place to start? |

| 03:41.04 | FrooFroo_ | there, finished translating it into wiki |
