Hello,<br>
<br>
</div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I've successfully built diskless frontend using FC5 and<br>system-config-netboot, NFS, PXE etc. I had no previous experience on the
<br>diskless stuff, PXE or even NFS but got it working. I have to admit that<br>this was the trickiest part of the whole myth system setup. My diskless<br>frontend is connected through 54M WLAN to the backend.<br><br>I think diskless clients are usually built around the idea that you are
<br>running them in schools, libraries etc. environments where you don't<br>want users to be able to mess with the root partition.<br><br>Because of the package updates, installations etc. I needed the whole<br>filesystem to be read-write, not read-only. I didn't find any easier way
<br>so I ended up slightly to modify one of the system-config-netboot<br>scripts so that now the root partition also gets mounted as a read-write<br>through NFS.<br><br>Just in case you haven't notice, there is a Diskless Frontend page in
<br>Wiki: <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Diskless_Frontend">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Diskless_Frontend</a><br>--</blockquote><div><br>
Well, i didn't know that was there. Hmmm just looked through it. It's
seems like a bit much for me. But as with all things, you are only
limted by your desire to learn. The net is an amazing resource to be
able to learn new things.<br>
<br>
At some stange in the close future i will have to do something like
this, as i said untill i have the hardware, i cant do a thing.<br>
<br>
In saying that, i have a celeron that i was going to use as teh
frontend with the CF card. Hmmm i wonder if it is possable for me
to get this to happen with squat i know about linux..... Ohh well that
is what this is all about.<br>
<br>
THanks<br>
