Boot your custom/remastered ISO via PXE!

No hard drive no PROBLEM.
You need a pc running tftpboot, dhcp and nfs services. ( I use CentOs)
Step 1, Follow thread http://knoppix.net/forum/threads/296...astering/page4 (post #39)
Step 2, Boot your remastered ISO. (manually configure ip addy if needed)
Step 3, Start Knoppix terminal server.
Step 4, Set root password.
Step 5, Start ssh server. ( for ease use same password here as you did for root)
Step 6, Connect to this ssh server from your tftpboot server! ( or any method you prefer to copy files)
Step 7, Create a folder within tftpboot folder of you server, named knx, then a folder within that named KNOPPIX.
Step 8, On the terminal server copy all files, folder and folder contents to the root directory of the tftpboot folder of the (CentOs server)
Step 9, Copy /mnt-system/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX(the big Knoppix file) to /tftpboot/knx/KNOPPIX folder within the tftpboot servers directory.
Step 10, Edit the default file within /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default to : DEFAULT linux
APPEND secure nfsdir=(your servers ip address):/tftpboot/knx nodhcp lang=us ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init apm=power-off nomce loglevel=1 initrd=miniroot.gz libata.force=noncq tz=localtime ramdisk_size=100000 lang=en vt.default_utf8=0 apm=power-off nomce libata.force=noncq hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1 loglevel=1 tz=localtime BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix
TIMEOUT 20
Step 11, Edit /tftpboot/boot.msg if you wish to say something and change logo.16 if you wish or leave both to defaut.
Step 12, Edit /etc/exports on the tftpboot server to :
/tftpboot *(async,insecure,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,r w)
Step 13, Restart CentOs server (be sure you have configured dhcp settings and boot file name) boot file name : see example below.
option domain-name-servers (your dns server);
ddns-updates off;
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
option routers (your gateway address);
subnet (your network, 192.168.?.?) netmask 255.255.255.0 {
authoritative;
filename "pxelinux.0";
range 192.168.?.? 192.168.?.?;
}
Step 14, Boot a pc via pxe to see your remastered ISO load to a pc with no hd or optical drive!
Poor mans Virtualzation! :)
I tested all on Dell 740, 745, 260, 280, 270, 755 Optiplex. Will work on any pc that the ISO will work on. The DVD iso has more drivers.
Enjoy!
