Package: live-boot
Version: 2.0~a12+20100707.181407
Severity: normal
Currently live-boot can netbbot only form servers specified by IP
address, not by DNS name.
For filesystems mountd by binaries linked with glinc including the NSS
modules and a resolv.conf should suffice to make this work.
For filesystems mountd by binaries from busybox or klibc-utils the
situation may be different. I think the simplistic mount command is used
for mounting nfs and cifs and glibc binaries are used for iscsi, httpfs
and ftpfs. wget exists both as a simplistic binary and as full binary
and currently the simplistic binary is used for fetch I think.
Attaching an initramfs hook which pulls NSS modules and a live script
patch which creates /etc/resolv.conf in the initramfs.
