Hi I want to ask you what you think of the netbooted kernel(packages?) I inted to package.
There are a couple of issues: *1* Should I use the "standard" configuration and add the nfsroot thing and then compile. This means a lot of packages. Or should I make one generic packge (for i386, and let other compile it for other archs). *2* What should it be named. kernel-image-netboot-kernelver? *3* What network drivers should be loaded? I know of netboot support for EtherExpressPro (the one I have) but what else should be enabled? If the list of devices is less than X this is probably something that is ok to do... or? (and what should that X be?) *4* Should I instead encourage people to compile their own kernel to enable netboot support? With specific instructions on how to do that. *5* Does anyone know if nfs-root can be in the standard-kernel without problem to boot from harddisk? I have not suceeded but then there were other problems to and I had little time...
