I am now watching a box load up the base system from a local server and
the only thing I did to it was turn it on. yipee.
Here is my pxelinux.cfg/default
label linux
kernel linux
append initrd=initrd.gz ramdisk_size=12890 root=/dev/rd/0 rw
preseed/locale=en_US kbd-chooser/method=us netcfg/wireless_wep=
netcfg/choose_interface=eth1 netcfg/get_hostname=
preseed/url=http://192.168.1.22/preseed.cfg --
However, I still have some issues.
I would like the same for a server install. That doesn't seem so hard,
but I ran out of space passing kernel options. The above is 214, and the
extra "base-config/package-selection=
base-config/install-language-support=false" is 73, which puts it at 287
which is 17 too many. Not to mention "-- BOOT_IMAGE=linux" gets tacked
on to the end by something, and it does seem to be included in the 255
limit. Not sure if anything needs it, so that may not be important.
Anyone have any good ideas?
