Re: Re: di-netboot-assistant - Debian-Installer netboot assistant
Hello,
Sorry for my late reply, but I was busy implementing some changes in
di-netboot-installer[1]. I've uploaded a new release[2].

I've modified the README file. I hope it's now clearer.
The "dhcpd.conf" sample is now meant for multi-arch users (i.e It's too
complex to be useful)... I'm now considering to build dhcp snippets for
each retrieved repository.

That's odd, since my dhcp server is etch's 3.0.4-13
Do you have a section like this, somewhere above line #28 ?
option space pxelinux;
option pxelinux.magic code 208 = string; # 0xd0
option pxelinux.configfile code 209 = text; # 0xd1
option pxelinux.pathprefix code 210 = text; # 0xd2
option pxelinux.reboottime code 211 = unsigned integer 32; # 0xd3

That's now supported, ia64 too.
However I haven't implemented arm/armel,mips/mipsel and
powerpc/powerpc64. That's because I have too issues :
1. Some architecture don't provide a tar ball (which is the only way
to be sure to retrieve all required file reliably, IMO).
2. They have multiple netboot image flavours.
Do you have any suggestion (before I ask for a sponsor on mentors.d.n) ?
Thanks in advance for your feedback,
Franklin
