Hi, We are using opensuse and OneSIS to do something similar but for a linux cluster. Here is a link to oneSIS. http://www.onesis.org. Hope this helps. Rene On 10/16/06 5:14 AM, "Benedikt Thelen" <thelenb@student.ethz.ch> wrote:
Hi I'm trying to deploy diskless OpenSuSE clients at my workplace. The idea is to boot the computers via PXE and then load a complete OpenSuSE via NFS. Yet I tryed to build my own initrd and it works, sometimes and sometimes not :-(, especially some programms like Openoffice do not work. I'm sure that there may be an other possibility of booting opensuse via nfs using the existing initrd's of the opensuse project. I was wondering if anyone has done something similar yet or can anybody give me a hint. On google if found some hints to do similar things with fedora but in that case they used it for one computer only, but in my case I need serveral computers using the same resources an that means that all files on the nfs mus be readonly (especially lock and pidfiles must be independently on the machines).
