hi, I am using happily Slitaz 3.0 on a PXE/TFTP server to boot machines and then clone them with partimage. I have understood the flavours etc, but I'd like to use a more recent partimage.
As Cooking have latest partimage 0.6.9, I downloaded the cooking base iso, extracted bzImage and rootfs.gz to the PXE server, and it boots.... than it stops with
reset : unknown terminal type linux Terminal type?
1. Is this a known problem? I am confused as the iso is from November 2010, rather old for Cooking? 2. Should I stop playing with cooking if it is not ready for production?
If you download /boot and /pxe from a Slitaz mirror (e.g. ftp://download.tuxfamily.org/slitaz) into your tftpserver directory and hand over the pxe/pxelinux.0 as a boot file via DHCP, you'll have all Slitaz versions/flavors (as well as some other need stuff) nicely in one PXE-menu.
Great stuff, nicely hidden. ;-) Still, I found it. :-)
...damn, a warning should be in the download page, or iso updated. I know everyone does as he can, but an unusable ISO is something keeping people away from Slitaz.
Well, we always recommend to use the stable release on production environments. The cooking release can be somewhat buggy, users who use it should always know that it's a testing release.
That said, you can use cooking at your own, updating it on a daily basis, to get the latest modifications of the distribution (and it is a risk, because sometimes an update can break things) OR you can use the stable release and, if you want the latest partimage, you can cook it by yourself, using tazwok.
