Subject: LNX-BBC-NET (bbc 2.1 hacked into a netboot) - network rescue floppy - msg#00010

List: linux.bbc.general

Date: Prev Next Index Thread: Prev Next Index

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: Andy Stewart 27 Berkeley Drive Chelmsford, MA 01824-1160 USA Thanks in advance, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org
