5. Network files system

The Client requests to mount /tftpboot/<IP address of client> as its / by NFS from server. You must export this from the server,(maybe symlink to /tftpboot/ .:: app.daily.dev ::. [GitHub: HTTPS] client to be safe.)

NFS is a big topic there is a HOWTO and two mini Howto's. .:: kjtr.grrr.jp ::. .:: www.inkitt.com ::. [r/Object-orientedprogramming Topics] .:: telegra.ph ::.

first you need to create a copy of your current system under /tftpboot ken has written two scripts that do all your work, I called them makefirst and makecopy. my first client takes 20-30mb and the copy less. I used du -h to look for large unnecesary files. .:: podcasts.apple.com ::.

see etherboot-4.2/doc/html/diskless-5.html

the following seem to me to be the critical files here

5.1 server specific


#/etc/exports
/tftpboot/elite             elite(rw,no_root_squash)
/tftpboot/elite             gordon(rw,no_root_squash)
/usr                        *.gundog.net(ro)
/home                       *.gundog.net(rw)
/mnt/cdrom                  (ro)

run exportfs -a  to reread the exports file after
changes /usr/sbin/exportfs --help
