Hi there, I've always been a serious advocate of runing sugar through pxe for a million reasons.. For a time I was employed for working on the maco managmenet side of sugar... ie distributing it... pxe... seemed obvious, fast, and incredibly tested. I am also one of the lead guys workiin on LTSP which turns any old computer into a thin client runninig the latest distro (ubuntu, fedora, and debian have done most work in that area) but its amazing stufff... u can run a thin client as just that, thin, using maybe 30mb ram, or fat 1 gig pllus... the server takes care of everything from whcih programs are being run, what machines and who are being monitored and of course the user DB, allowing a user to login froom anywher and get their desktop,, fat or thin, or anything in between.... It sounds a bit like profiling and its being used like that a bit, but there is also sabayon, which is a real visual profiler which is awsome, especially during exam times... In any case I've digressed. I wrote an article which is really aged now on <a href="http://nubae.com">nubae.com</a>. I'll do an update using pinguyos as the base distro (as it just rocks almost as miuch as osx, if u like that kind of thing.) Anyway, the more recent articles with lots of engineering style writing is here: <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Dextrose/Server">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Dextrose/Server</a> I was unfortunately unable to bring my monster to life, but fully intend to, when I have a moment....a U'll find the sugar crowd oddly fearful of PXE and how much time it can save, not to mention the tons of broken disks and sticks.... but its a battle that will be won when proof of concept is shown at various points in time and space...... kind ragards, David Van Assche P.S. If you are game, I would love a co-driver on this... working it alone is boring, tiring, and somewhat unmotivated... <div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Nov 5, 2011 at 5:34 PM, Mathieu Jobin <<a href="mailto:somekool@gmail.com">somekool@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Hi there, I am new to sugar. I set it up so i can boot the image through PXE. The initial boot phase works. But it fails while trying to mount the root fs. On the live CD it is set as root=live:LABEL=iso-filename or something similar. But the CD is not in the drive. So that points no where. I tried set it up to root=/dev/null like the Slitaz distro is doing. A distro I am also booting through PXE. I tried setting up to mount a NFS share on the LAN. But root nfs doesn't seems supported. Before getting into rebuilding the Sugar image. I was wondering if there is something that could work out of the box?
