===== 20 July =====
  - Someone from fedora mailing list suggested to use NFS instead of httpfs, and test if ext4-fs related errors do disappear or not.
   - I will try out that, I was also considering to try NFS with ubuntu and see if it works.

===== 21 July =====
 - Got Fedora 11 working over NFS, all logs are on page [[fedora11bko|Fedora 11 in BKO]]

===== 22-23 July =====
Got debian working over ISCSI finally [[BKODebianISCSI|Debian over iscsi]]
  - Involved hacking open-iscsi source code for getting it work

===== 24 July =====
  - Tried to used ISCSI for ubuntu, but ubuntu is still not ready to boot over network.
  - By looking at obstacles, It seems that that it is not at all designed to boot over network.
  - The NFS option of Ubuntu can be tried once, to see if it works. 

===== 25 July =====
  - Worked on BKO configuration script, which will generate proper ''.conf'' files needed by BKO for all distributions.
  - Configuration script is based on ''bash'' and ''perl''.


===== 26 July =====
  - Had weekly meeting.
  - Located the problem in [[fedora11bko|Fedora 11 HTTPFS booting]]
    - Now fedora 11 can be booted over http, but process is not entirely automated. Needs manual intervention for removing ''network'' and ''NetworkManager''
    - Located a race condition between ISO mounting and loopback mounting inside fedora booting process, fixed it by using ''sleep 5''
  - Fixed the Ubuntu HTTP booting problem by removing ''network'' and ''NetworkManager''
