Install over PXE+NFS

[Husse]

I can't remember seeing reports of a successful install over network
Not even USB?
That said my not too old motherboard (nforce4 from 2005 or 6) can't boot from a pendrive...
I think this is outside what we give support for and I can't say much more than to look for solutions in forums for network install
If I had less than some 50 unanswered posts to answer today I'd have investigated this but there is always to much to answer

Good luck

I got it to work using this:

On my linux box (tftp server, nfs root):

Code: Select all

[root@gimpo ~]# mount -o loop /storage/images/linuxmint-10-lxde-rc-i386.iso /storage/tftpboot/mountedimages/linuxmint/
[root@gimpo ~]# exportfs |grep -A 1 linuxmint
/storage/tftpboot/mountedimages/linuxmint
                192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
[root@gimpo ~]# grep linuxmint /storage/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
LABEL linuxmint
        KERNEL mountedimages/linuxmint/casper/vmlinuz
        APPEND boot=casper initrd=mountedimages/linuxmint/casper/initrd.lz ip=dhcp showmounts file=/cdrom/preseed/mint.seed netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.254:/storage/tftpboot/mountedimages/linuxmint quiet splash --
