Hi,
I'm trying to setup Booth network booting environment with PXE for 10+ kiosks. After seeing roughly how Knoppix does PXE booting with knoppix-terminalserver, I am attempting to replicate the process with booth. I have so far been able to get the linux24 kernel from the booth live CD to load over the network with PXE, but then halts with message "Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry". Though I am not sure, I believe it is because it is not able to mount the NFS share I have set up with the KNOPPIX filesystem. Do I need to recompile the kernel with proper network drivers? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You'll need to recompile the kernel to include NFS support in the kernel. If you take a look at the DSL forums there are a number of threads on getting PXE booting to work.

Thanks for the reply. I had a lot of trouble compiling cloop with a custom kernel :-/
I eventually ended up using the KNOPPIX 3.4 terminal-server kernel since it already had NFS root mounting compiled in. It's not network booting properly.

Er, scratch that. I meant to say it IS network booting properly.
