Talking Building a Slackware magical script. Feedback and suggestions welcome.

Hi Slackers ! ;^)

The purpose of this script is to transform a Slackware into a PXE server.
Not an installation server, i mean :
A real networked Slack ^^.

I tested it on Slackware-13.37 and Slackware64-13.37.
Should work after my latest modifications (no more time to test yet).

Note that the client kernel is recompiled, and for now, a few network cards are added.

Takes ~2h30 on a P4-class machine.

I intend to add more stuff later, maybe in a separate script.
And i may deposit it in LQ's tutorials/SBo/n(yes, i dream ^^).

Feel free to suggest.

Enjoy.

No.

You install your own PXE server in a pinch (one command and 2h30).

TY: I always wanted to try to PXE boot in slackware, but never had the time (or courage); now I can just try your script!!!

Good work. This is something I am interested in. What is exported to the clients - a whole desktop like XFCE? And how do the clients perform?

Could the PXE server export just a small desktop like FVWM or Fluxbox to the clients, with little more than a VNC viewer, so that they can then VNC back into the server to do their work?

The whole Slackware is exported.

The clients performs as good as your network and server's HD. So it's kicks ass on 100M + IDE, and even better on 1G + SATA.

No need VNC dude, it's a real Slackware. Files are exported with NFS, so as fast as thunder.

Thumbs up
Little feedback... First of all, thnx for this funky script. However, for some reason I encountered few problems with it. As you did, I also had a similar problem you described in your post. After some random tweaking I managed to boot normally. I'll try to reproduce the errors again on a fresh vms because atm I have no idea what was wrong/fixed. As far as I noticed, the problem had something to do with rpc.statd & rpc.lockd on the server machine. I was able to see the output of
Code:
rpcinfo -p ip
but
Code:
showmounts -e ip
didn't work from the pxe client. Anyhow, after manual chroot and mkinitrd stuff (finchroot1 in your script) with added
Code:
mkinitrd -c -f nfs -r 10.0.0.1:/srv/exports/nfs/slackware/filesystem/ -D eth0 -k 2.6.37.6 -m ehci_hcd:ohci_hcd:uhci_hcd:xhci_hcd
for my usb keyboard and mouse everything seems peachy. It works both on physical and virtual machines.
Thanks again

Cool !

I was asking myself if adding network modules to initrd, as you did with usb, wasn't better.
Dig it next.

Indeed, i may have missed something for the rpc stuff.
Will dig it too soon.

Thanks for your feedback.

Not an installation server, i mean :
A real networked Slack ^^.

I tested it on Slackware-13.37 and Slackware64-13.37.
Should work after my latest modifications (no more time to test yet).
Hi,

I haven't given this a try yet. Before I do, have you made any further refinements or additions to the script?

Didn't reworked much. I plan do to continue it.

Yup, LTSP, but not terminals, REAL Slackware.
No need HD in stations.

This is a GREAT idea.
But unfortunately running the PXE client in VirtualBox on a vanilla slackware install caused a lot of kernel problems within the first two seconds (and wouldn't continue booting after that).
I'll have to try doing it between actual machines.

I've been looking all over for something like this and the best I could find was LTSP-4.2 (I think I followed an answer to one of your previous threads to get it to work).

I suppose that if I want to get a Folding@Home diskless farm served by Slackware I might just have to create my own tiny distro.
LTSP-4.2 works for this but I can only run version 5 of the folding@home client, because v6 complains that the kernel is too old (2.6.9).

Instead of just dipping my toe into linux anymore I'll just have to dive in and hope the community can keep my head above water enough to learn to swim.
Ahh, Slackware, thou art a heartless yet simplistic bitch.

I think I've had enough beer tonight...for now.
