- should the iso be NFS loop mounted Yes, my personal use case would be an NFS based solution like there is for Ubuntu, using the "netboot" and "nfsroot" parameter: http://www.serenux.com/2010/05/howto-get-an-ubuntu-live-cd-to-boot-off-a-pxe... I was unable to get this working for openSUSE so far. But I will look into Kiwi some more ...
As you mentioned, there seems to a multitude of possibilities to do a PXE boot, but in contrast to some other distributions I was unable to find an easy (i.e. following some tutorial) and accessible (starting from an official live CD image) way for openSUSE. Kiwi seems to be a solution, but this involves users creating their own images rather than using the exisisting live CD images if I'm not mistaken? I found multiple threads on the openSUSE forum where users ask about this in a similar way: [1] http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/install-boot-logi...
