Subject: LNX-BBC-NET (bbc 2.1 hacked into a netboot) - network rescue floppy - msg#00010
List: linux.bbc.general
Ok, as useful as I have found BBC 2.1, I was wondering why there was no
network booting mechanism of the same image. So I have rsync'd all of the
files into a 192 meg initrd (for straight forward customization) which
boots fine with a recent DHCP server and a TFTP server.
This is LNX-BBC-NET 2.1 and you can get it from the following two links:
theinfo http://dreamscape.org/code/lnx-bbc-net.txt
bootdir http://dreamscape.org/lnx-bbc-net.tgz
Some machines don't have CD's, but this is a very useful distribution
method too. Enjoy.

Request for LNX-BBC cdroms
Hello,
I am a Linux users' group founder who could easily find good homes for a few
of these LNX-BBC cdroms. Many people in the group have been asking for them
considering the recent new release of version 2.1. If you are able to send a
few of these to me for distribution to the group membership, we'd be most
thankful and appreciative.
My mailing address is:

Thanks in advance,
Andy
