Hi all,
why is there a special boot image for network install? Can't I boot the linux/initrd from the regular images via pxe over network? I think so. Because yesterday I was able to start the ppc installation with the "inst64" image via bootp/tftp. So, why the special network install iso?

I think this should answer your question ;-)
The boot.iso is way smaller, 64MB instead of 603MB for the 1st image.
Makes sense.
NB: please please please, again again again, when you send a mail to the list on a different topic:
1) use another subject
2) don't reply to a mail of another thread, write a new mail from scratch
This list is starting to get higher traffic and it's difficult enough to follow all the threads
already, so please do follow some common guidelines. Thank you.
cheers
