I've never actually used the script -- it was written by some of the guys working on the project now known as ovirt and they use it pretty heavily > It would be useful to be able to export the root FS from a LiveCD via > NFS, or maybe have an alternate initrd for PXE booting that could NFS > mount the ISO image (and then the LiveCD root), or fetch the ISO into > RAM via HTTP, or something along those lines. With the way we build the initrd today, there's no way[1] to do so. But as I said in my previous mail, with dracut maybe we can start to look at other interesting things like this Jeremy [1] Well, there's a way... but not anything sustainable.
