====== Week 10 ======
===== TO DO List =====
  - Complete the deployment script
  - Deploy it on BKO

These are the pages and problems on which I am currently working

  - [[BKODebianISCSI|Debian over iscsi]] -- done :-) --
  - [[ubuntubko|ubuntu in BKO]] -- Finally it is working after removing ''networking'' and ''NetworkManager'', only ''/etc/resolver.conf'' entry needs a fix --
  - [[fedora11bko|Fedora 11 in BKO]] -- Able to boot indirectly after disabling ''networking'' and ''NetworkManager'' --

===== 27 July =====
  - Working on deployment script.
  - Completed the deployment script.
  - There were small (and stupid) error which surfaced in the process of actual deployment, fixed them.
  - Started the deployment process
  - There was urgent need to support URL as boot.kernel.org mirror selection works at dns level.
    - Adding /etc/resolv.conf to all the distributions with pre-configured value ''nameserver 208.67.222.222''
  - By end of the day, only debian was properly working over BKO. knoppix was getting stuck somewhere inbetween.

===== 28 July =====
  - As mirror selection is done at DNS level, removed the entries for URL's from boot menu.
  - added default ''/etc/resolv.conf'' to all distributions
  - DSL is throwing following error 
<code>
httpfs : getaddrinfo rom.etherboot.org - Name or service not known.
</code>
  - About ubuntu, it is booting properly from squashfs, but ISO is not booting.  Most probably I have messed up the script where selection between iso and squashfs is done
===== 29-30 July =====
  - After some debugging I agree with Warthog now that the problem indeed is long boot parameters.
  - Worked on fixing the problem by shortening the URL names.
    - Shortened the Directory names
    - Shortened the ISO names
    - moved out the pxeknife part

===== 31 July =====
  - After discussion with Warthog9, decided to revert back the old style.
  - And the problem of long boot parameters will be solved by hardcoding the boot parameters inside initramfs.
  - Realized the problem that we will be facing,
    - Will need separate initramfs for all locations. (as location is hardcoded in)
    - The change of location will trigger modification of code of all distributions :-(
