Yes. I've install using boot-floppies over network completely lots of times. Not on i386 though. > At the moment all the available methods require a boot disk of some variety, > however it is possible to boot debian off the network including the > installer, however this still means that a disk or cd is required to load > "rescue.bin" and "drivers.tgz"... That's not true. I've netbooted/netinstalled SPARC and PPC many times. > If no one else is working on it, I am modifying one of the root.bin files > (currently just bf2.4/root.bin from woody) to allow complete network booting > and installation, if there is someone working on it, I would like to join > forces on this one. We're not adding features to boot-floppies, actually. It's maintenance only. Work on debian-installer. Anyhow i386 booting is a pain because you have to pick packet drivers for your particular ether card. -- ...Adam Di Carlo..<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...<URL:http://www.onshored.com/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
