DSL Tips and Tricks :: How-to: PXE - Packing the KNOPPIX image in initrd

here's an idea...

I am very embarassed to say that there may be a big mistake in this how-to about creating the initrd. for now, goto the site mentioned in the beginning and download the old minirt24.gz from his files link.

1. gunzip the file and mount it.

gunzip minirt24.gz
mount ./minirt24 /mnt/initrd-custom

2. delete everything out of the initrd

rm -rf /mnt/initrd-custom

3. follow the instructions as if you had created the initrd file.

i will do some more research about that initrd. if anyone sees a problem, please say so.

Hm, I think you could just copy the initrd then edit it directly, which may be easier in the long run.

Taking another look, it maybe you have a problem with cp -R ? maybe try cp -a.

i think that is the problem. stupid permissions. The how-to has been updated

Hello everybody,

an hour ago I found the impressive DSL 1.5 PXE image on the internet, copied it to my running tftp server ... works like a charme. THANKs a lot, this is wonderful!!!

I have been looking for this for quite a while ....

And now my question / is there a 3.1 DSL PXE version to download anywhere.

Regards,

Rigas

I tried to do it myself and created a new version of "minirt24.gz".
It was loaded over the lan, hardware detection started, but then I got the "message" "KNOPPIX not found" and was left alone with a very basic linux version ...

I probably did not enter the correct changes in linuxrc ... (I really did not understand the part of the howto, where it comes to the diff file ...)

Any ideas?

Regards

Rigas
