mattcenHi all. Has anybody here gotten Casper working with a filesystem.dir/ as opposed to a filesystem.squashfs? My use-case is that I have copied an Ubuntu Lucid LiveCD to disk for use as a network-bootable live image, which works...03:21
mattcenBut when I extract the filesystem.squashfs to filesystem.dir I get lots of error messages, ending in an endless loop of "Authentication Failure" messages on the TTY before X starts03:22
mattcenAnybody?09:28

evmattcen: why do you need to extract the squashfs for it to be network bootable?  The live image with squashfs works just fine when PXE booted with a nfsroot pointed at the unmodified CD contents.16:31
CarlFK1wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux17:40
CarlFK1used that for a pxe install with a preseed file.  I now have the "tryu buntu" "install ubuntu" gui thing17:40
CarlFK1this is surprising17:41

CarlFKoh hell, never mind17:42
CarlFKI had an install CD in the drive.  so when the net install was done and it rebooted.. it booted the CD.  doh.17:42

mattcenev: I want to easily be able to modift the filesystem, and having to unpack and repack the squashfs is work I'd rather avoid.20:07
mattcenthe filesystem.dir approach also has the advantage of on-the-fly modification of existing live boot sessions.20:09
CarlFKpxe/preseed install - how can I disable the screen saver of the installed system?23:25
CarlFKI can boot the system, run gnome-screensaver-preferences, turn it off, close. and I don't see any files modified23:26
