Re: Building PXE/XIP environment

Check out cobbler. Support rpm very well and deb packages but I don't know how 
well. I would avoid system images, updating them is a pia and take too many 
cycles.

Hi, I need to be able to boot a "standalone" environment for some applications 
(i.e., one the image is loaded, there are no remaining dependencies on the 
"server"... no nfs mounts, etc.). Since this is probably an 
interactive/iterative process (i.e., port some part of the system, determine 
any dependencies that must be removed, remove them, lather, rinse, repeat), I 
wonder if there is a straightforward way to create a kernel+filesystem image 
and then "package" this once it works properly. Any pointers to guides that 
might facilitate this? Thanks! --don
