I've thrown together a prototype Debathena mini install CD, intended to
basically provide the network install environment in CD form, for people
where PXE isn't an option.
Or also people who want to test Jaunty, since I can throw as many
kernels on there as I want.
The image lives in /mit/debathena/mini-installer/mini-installer.iso, and
currently offers intrepid, jaunty, and rescue (using the Intrepid
kernel) options. Both intrepid and jaunty act more or less exactly like
the PXE installer. The various things that came together to make it are
in /mit/debathena/mini-installer/src - the isolinux subdirectory is the
actual source of the CD.
This isn't anywhere near polished to the degree that I'd be willing to
give this to...anyone. Hopefully the prose in the initial display makes
that much clear.
Let me know if you have any feature requests or if you run into any
problems (although this isn't exactly my area of expertise, so no promises).
- Evan
