| 1 | This directory contains some basic setup stuff for a PXE-based Athena |
|---|
| 2 | 10 installer. If you're looking for basic Athena 10 install instructions, check out: |

| 6 | This is largely a vanilla Ubuntu install; a DHCP server running a |
|---|
| 7 | standard PXELINUX setup invokes the debian netinstall kernel with an |
|---|
| 8 | invocation like: |
|---|
| 9 | |
|---|
| 10 | LABEL athena10 |
|---|
| 11 | kernel intrepid-installer/i386/linux |
|---|
| 12 | append auto=true locale=en_US console-setup/layoutcode=us console-setup/charmap=UTF-8 interface=auto url=http://18.18.1.12/linux/athena10-intrepid.preseed initrd=intrepid-installer/i386/initrd.gz DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 -- |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | ...after which the kernel loads the preseed file |
|---|
| 15 | (athena10-intrepid.preseed), which fetches and runs a loader script |
|---|
| 16 | (athena10-intrepid-loader.sh), which fetches, unpacks, and runs the real |
|---|
| 17 | install script (out of athena10-intrepid.tar.gz), which asks a few |
|---|
| 18 | questions up front and then generates a preseed file which can |
|---|
| 19 | complete the install without further input. |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | Most of this stuff is currently served via HTTP from athena10.mit.edu. |
