====== Linux Mint Live boot over PXE ====== The boot-mechanisms of LinuxMint is very closely based on Ubuntu, as they are both based on Casper. So, setting up a LinuxMint live-boot environment is very simple if you have already done the same for Ubuntu... ===== LinuxMint 8 Helena over PXE ===== Fetch the boot-envrionment from the CD-image, and make it available via NFS. Copy the kernel and initrd to the TFTP directories. <code> mount -o loop /srv/ISO-images/LinuxMint/LinuxMint-8.iso /mnt/ mkdir -p /srv/boot/live/mint/8/i386 cp -a /mnt/* /mnt/.disk/ /srv/boot/live/mint/8/i386/ mkdir -p /var/lib/tftpboot/live/mint/8/i386 cp /srv/boot/live/mint/8/i386/casper/{vmlinuz,initrd.lz} /var/lib/tftpboot/live/mint/8/i386/ </code> Add boot-entry in the PXElinux menus, this is an extract from my menus/mint.cfg, and it is very tightly related to the Ubuntu-way. <code> LABEL mint_8_live_32 MENU LABEL ^1 Try Linux Mint 8 Live for 32bit boot TEXT HELP Select this on 32bit computers to test LinuxMint 8 with no install.
