[REQ] 'better' folderstructure for easier PXE integration
Posted: Wed Aug 11, 2010 5:43 pm
I am in middle of intergrating UBCD into mine existing PXE-enviroment, but it isn't as trivial as it could be... As I don't like to "cd contents" to be thrown root-folder of tftp-server, this makes immediately configuring pxe-menus harder with UBCD... as UBCD's sys/isolinux structure assumes rootfolder to be same as cd content essentially...
So I propose that UBCD cd-content would have only one folder, UBCD, which would then house everything that is now in cd root... (Well ofcourse cdroot needs to have autorun.inf and so on, but not the point).
This way it would be trivial to put that one folder into tftp-server and instruct my own menu to dig up UBCD-menu from correct location AND ubcd will then keep on workin as files is allways looked from correct place /ubcd/something.
Otherwise if I want working system I'd need to edit every single menufile in ubcd structure and do it all over again when new ubcd would be introduced...
I hope I made any sense
EDIT/ADD: As I haven't found any way to for example load new pxelinux.0 with diffirent rootfolder that would work around this issue too...
