| 00:25.15 | Paleo | Hi ! |
| 00:25.25 | Paleo | Is it possible to boot an ISO image from PXE ? |
| 00:33.52 | ScytheBlade1 | Not directly, no |
| 00:34.56 | Nirkus | ScytheBlade1: makes you think, doesnt it? how many people come in here and ask this question? |
| 00:35.22 | Nirkus | it's time for an PXE, NFS(?), UnionFS solution to that |
| 00:35.52 | Paleo | :) |
| 00:39.00 | ScytheBlade1 | Paleo, it's not "possible" to do, no |
| 00:39.12 | ScytheBlade1 | ISO images cannot be PXE booted directly |
| 00:40.21 | Nirkus | Paleo: what kind of ISO image do you want to boot via PXE? |
| 00:40.59 | Paleo | Gentoo livecd |
| 00:44.03 | Nirkus | Paleo: http://forums.gentoo.org/search.php?search_keywords=pxe&search_terms=all&show_results=topics |
| 00:44.11 | Nirkus | maybe you'll find something in there |
| 00:44.41 | Paleo | yup, found a good post already |
| 00:44.47 | Paleo | thx :) |
| 00:45.49 | Nirkus | every gentoo user is welcome :> |
| 00:46.05 | Paleo | :D |
| 00:46.32 | Paleo | i have 10 identics machines on which I need to install gentoo |
| 00:46.58 | Paleo | i'll build it on one of them, then netcat sda to all machines ... thats why I want to boot the livecd on all machines at the same time |
| 00:49.39 | Nirkus | *lol* |
| 00:49.51 | ScytheBlade1 | <-- gentoo addict |
| 00:50.08 | Nirkus | use tars and ftp |
| 00:50.21 | Nirkus | or tftp if it can handle the file size |
| 00:50.56 | Nirkus | you can exclude things like /dev, /sys, /media, /mnt etc |
| 00:51.17 | Nirkus | and just add the directories itself wit uid/gid & access rights to the tar archive |
| 01:01.28 | Paleo | i don't want to manually creates the partition for each PC |
| 01:02.26 | Nirkus | do as you like |
| 01:02.28 | Paleo | i was thinking about using something like a "repeater" for ssh, or smth like that |
| 01:02.40 | Paleo | I could type commands once, and they are executed on each machines |
| 01:02.48 | Paleo | dunno how to do that, however |
| 01:03.00 | Nirkus | but with a little PXE booted kernel & busybox ramdisk you could script the partitioning and .tar transfer |
| 01:03.01 | Paleo | I'd need a ssh client that could send commands to multiple connections |
| 01:03.49 | Nirkus | Paleo: it's unlikely to exist since SSH is designed to be a secure shell connection to another computer |
| 01:04.23 | Nirkus | good night |
| 01:04.38 | Paleo | hey, konsole can do it :D cool |
| 01:04.42 | Paleo | eheh good night |
