Hello I wonder, if you know any more about the possibilities of having a standard Network driver for most cards. Is there any such thing for linux? Where do I get it? Is there possibly something for DOS? A UNDI Packetdriver would be cool, because then I could use DosSCP on every Network card I would ever be using with MemDisk (which in turn is very cool.) bye Christian (thinking about writing

Hi, I need help about the stuff in nilo that gets burnt on a rom to make it a pxe bootrom. In etherboot, it's the file .rom and .lzrom etc. please help me indentify, what component in nilo is used with an eeprom writer to create a pxe bootrom from a 27c512 eprom. thanx and regards, milan -- Powered by Outblaze

Hello, there is a transparent and standard way to boot from the network, a media that is bootable (cdrom, floppies) ? It is possible to interpret the standard boot sector and use a network boot loader such as pxelinux or other, to tell where to find, and the proper way to load the correct files from the tftp server ? An example would be appreciated using "common" boot disks, for

Hi there, we are using a couple of Diskless Linux Workstations in conjunction with PXE capabable Network cards to boot the system. This works fine using pxelinux. However, there are a few workstations left, which are not able to boot via PXE and thus this workstations need a Kernel on a floppy disk and an additional initrd image. The Problem with is, that both of them don't fit on a floppy

I'm using PXE booting to make operating system installations. There is one problem with it - it won't work when BIOS or NIC doesn't support network booting. Is it possible to put pxelinux somehow on a CD or on a floppy? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org

I saw a section entitled "PXELINUX and the Windows Remote Install Server", but there was nothing below it. I'm trying to figure out how to do this. Any advise would be appreciated. Do you suggest PXE, Etherboot, or Netboot? Could someone explain the difference? I still haven't figured out how all this fits together yet. Thanks.

Hi, I've been using pxe-enabled nic's with an lzpxe-etherboot image generated by rom-o-matic.net to boot a ltsp.org kernel, with dhcp 3 to use if statements to determine which filename option he gives to the pxe/etherboot dhcp client.Explained at http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/pxe.howto.html This works perfectly, except for the fact that you can't use 1 etherboot pxe image for

Is it possible to have a isolinux based boot CD, where one of the options is to boot off the network. This would mean, 1. The kernel that one boots into is on the network and not on the CD. So easy to make changes. 2. One does not need a 'PXE enabled' network card. - Murali

I downloaded nilo and oskit from www.nilo.org. Added pcnet32.c linux-2.0.39 driver to oskit. Compiled nilo with pcnet32 and produced boot floppy image. Use it inside vmware vm. My aim is to be able to test pxelinux using vmware+nilo and not a real machine. Floppy starts, detects nic, receives ip from dhcp server, requests boot image to tftpd-hpa, then crashes when talking to tftp. Is

In addition to bug 70972 (Modesetting failure at 1280x800), there may be another bug affecting the NVIDIA GeForce 7150M/nForce 630M. I think that this is a separate issue from the above. When using KDE or Ubuntu Unity with nouveau on this GPU, there were artifacts and missing UI elements. I think that this is probably more likely to be a rendering issue rather than a display issue. I am not sure

Is there any chance the system-config-netboot* rpms upstream removed from CentOS6 could be provided in extras? The CentOS5 SRPM builds cleanly under CentOS6, and upstream's workaround is insufficient as it only covers diskless clients, not helpful if you need pxeos.

Hey folks, I'm at colocaiton in the middle of a big rebuild and it seems I have a faulty CD rom in the server that I need to put Centos on via Kickstart. So I cannot boot the Centos 5.4 net install CD. Is PXE kickstart easy to set up? I have a laptop here with DHCP already going. I google and a bunch of stuff comes up but it does not look simple. I'm just shooting htis out ther eon

hey guys, I just created a custom netboot cd, that launches and loads from a http source, but connects to a vnc listening viewer. All in all, not hard to do, but what is different with this one is that it skips the media check, has no prompts and allows you to start the install on a machine that has no keyboard/mouse/monitor. Was handy for me as when i have some boxes to load, I just

I think all the common distros have pretty much stopped caring (if they ever did) about allowing users to reasonably operate their default environments with hardware that has imperfect 3D drivers. Please use environments that don't require 3D for regular operation on such boards. -ilia On Tue, May 30, 2017 at 7:36 PM, adlo <adloconwy at gmail.com> wrote: > In order to get a clear

Hello, My challenge is to run Linux on a computer where I don't dare to touch the Microsoft Windows harddisk. Fifthteen years ago would be trick to attach a second harddisk to the computer and boot from floppy disk. In 2011 is the idea to attach a second disk and netboot it. One approach is to TFTP the kernel and append 'root=/dev/sdb1' This E-mail is however to seek advice for

Hey Ned, I found this very useful to test that the RBL was working: http://www.spamhaus.org/faq/answers.lasso?section=Spamhaus%20SBL#207 " How do I test my SBL setup?

Hi folks, I've followed a set of instructions I found on http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/centos_linux_guides/centos_enterprise_linux_sysadmin_guide/ch-diskless.htmli which describes using system-config-netboot to set up PXE booting. I used a CentOS-4.3 install (custom, all options de-selected, then anaconda-busybox installed after the fact) as a reference/base. I followed the
