Re: Booting Debian-live-501 over HTTP



Hello

Thanks for the patch.

It is quite large, probably because it contains scripts shipped in one
of the iscsi client packages.

It also hardcodes a nameserver. Is there no parameter for nameserver
yet? Can't it be obtained from dhcp?

The iscsi names are also hardcoded. Shouldn't these be specified in
the command line?

Thanks

Michal
