Bug#655259: O: mknbi -- Create tagged images for Etherboot or Netboot
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
The mknbi package has been orphaned. If you want to be the new maintainer,
please take it -- see http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for
detailed instructions how to properly adopt a package.
Some information about the package follows:
Package: mknbi
Version: 1.4.4-9
Installed-Size: 260
Maintainer: Debian QA Group <packages@qa.debian.org>
Architecture: i386
Depends: perl
Description: Create tagged images for Etherboot or Netboot
With mknbi you can create tagged images for Etherboot. Tagged images are data
files, which contain the necessary files for booting up (kernel+root for
Linux, kernel+minifs for DOS, ...) bundled together with a special format.
.
These tagged images are downloaded and understood by Etherboot and Netboot
during the boot process.
.
This package should be used on the server and not on the client. It doesn't
contain code which handles the network card, downloads the image, etc.
