Re: BSDInstaller Plugin

G'day,

Markus I'm also working on building a FreeBSD server which diskless 
clients can PXE-Boot to, but I'm having no luck, here are all my notes:

http://www.freebsdwiki.net/index.php/X_Windows_Terminal

You might find some clues, but then again you might find I'm doing 
something wrong. If you can give me any pointers please do. I think what 
your doing is great.

When your finished will you be able to select install to hard drive from 
the live cd? And will it be all configured for a PXE-Boot server?

Thanks for your notes! I also have some updates on my progress: The  
LiveCD is fully working via CD and also on a second computer via PXE.  
You can start bsdinstaller and choose menupoints. At the moment I am  
working especially on the "installing on Harddrive"-thing. The bad  
news is, that my development-machine crashed before two days. So I  
have to get some new hardware soon. :( Looks like the memory is  
broken - hmpf!

As soon as I have access to all my data and ISO-Images, I can send  
them to you. (and clearly all other interested people)

Cheers!
