I already know how PXE works, etc. That's not an issue.
The issue is I want to network boot openSUSE. Not an installer. I've read all the KIWI-LTSP stuff on the wiki but there aren't clear instructions and seems outdated (the documentation at least).
All I was able to determine is in SUSE Studio website PXE images are disabled, but "SUSE Studio Onsite" is a paid (how many thousands? 50 thousand?) system that can build PXE booting images. That's basically all I need, build an image with a GUI and boot it over PXE. Even if I could boot the LiveCD over PXE, that would be fine. Is there a way to convert some image I build in SUSE studio to PXE image? What is even the difference? Just the proper support in initrd?
Anyone have working recent instructions on how to accomplish this? All I need is to boot a (single) machine over PXE and run firefox.
I'm travelling at the moment but if no one else answers in the next few days I will by next week. I don't know any especially easy/automatic ways or any especially short recipies off the top of my head, I just know I've set up opensuse to boot from pxe and have a nfs root on a diskless box on my TV at home a while back and it wasn't undoable. If no better answer, then I'll just go over that stuff again and see what the non-obvious gimmicks were. Just in case no one even answers or says it's not possible etc. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
