How to boot Knoppix over network (pxe) without nfs (storage

[neilsanner]

Hi,

I have a laptop with :
-Broken dvd drive
-No floppy
-USB booting not possible

It can boot via network/pxe.

Is there a way to boot Knoppix on there?
I want to use live Knoppix as a rescue tool.
I would prefer not setting up a NFS. I would like to put all the CD files on a USB key. The network tftp server would be used to initiate the booting process. Then the files would be accessed from the USB drive.

Any ideas of the steps to boot Knoppix over the network?

Answer to myself :lol: :

Check out Knoppix Hacks book from O'reilly (http://books.google.com/books?id=YaSWlOOxshsC&pg=PA194&dq=knoppix+pxe#v=onepage&q=knoppix%20pxe&f=false).

It doesn't boot from the USB drive but it's OK.
