====== Attempt to add httpfs and iscsifs support to debian official release ====== ===== Current Status ===== - Added ''dnsip'' parameter so that user can give his own DNS ip in case of static ip configuration. - Now static and dhcp should work fine in debian. - ''httpfs'' is done, now with improved code, it does not conflict with ''run-init''. - ''iscsifs'' is also working, but it conflicts with ''run-init'' ( so I am force to work with modified ''run-init''). Following the support request in [[http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-live@lists.debian.org/msg02257.html|mailing list]]. ==== difficult funcations ==== - ''setup_loop'' in initramfs ''/scripts/live-helpers'', what it has to do with mounting httpfs? - It is essentially ''losetup ${options} "${dev}" "${fspath}"'' ====== creating Harddisk Image ====== Aim is to create harddisk image, which can be used to boot kernel with initramfs, and then fetch the root filesystem over Internet. This will avoid the need of gpxe, and hence will make it easy to test.
