====== Week 7 ======
Plan for this week is,

  - Polish up the BKO site.
  - Fix the Red hat problem.

===== 6 July =====
  - Worked around the BKO site to make it more presentable
  - modified and re-organized the BKO boot time menu. Here is the [[http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/pravin/BKO.git;a=commit;h=c1af38ac3e2129555455f29e59794bf4b4c9d8a3|commit]]
  - Had weekly meeting


===== 7 July =====
  - Discovered the serious bug in BKO. Static network configuration will not work in current BKO setup.
     - I will be documenting the problem in detail and possible solutions [[BKOStaticIP|here]]
     - Problem is solved.  I am using ''IPAPPEND''.  Please refer [[BKOStaticIP]] for details.
  - Tried my luck with fedora core again, but no success yet :( [[fedora11bko]]
  
===== 8 July =====
   - After breaking my head on Fedora, I decided to try something else, so I am trying debian now.
     - Here are the more details about it[[BKODebian]].

===== 9 - 10 July =====
  - Got the Debian working :-) [[BKODebian]]
    - Just one small issue is that, I have to use squashfs image instead of iso image.
    - The problem in using iso image is that, once initrd job is (almost) over, it runs ''/bin/run-init'' which is binary executable, 
       - It tries to remove initramfs filesystem.
       - As I am mounting ISO inside initramfs, it also tries to delete this iso, and fails. with this failue the init scripts panics and stop the boot process.


===== 11 - 12 July =====
  - Could not work much because of Internet connectivity problem.
  - Also missed the weekly meeting
