The config file can be created before you use bootdisk:
|
|
|
|
you may edit or generate it on any machine, than put onto
|
|
|
|
bootdisk. </para>

First, create temporary <filename>etc</filename> dir somewhere,
|
|
|
|
put installer.conf and other files into it.
|
|
|
|
You may also create etc/profile to avoid question about language, e.g:
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>export LANG=pl</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
</para>

<para>
|
|
|
|
Then issue:
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>tar cf config.tar etc/</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>gzip -9nf config.tar</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
then mount bootkette,
|
|
|
|
and copy the file, or put file directly with mtools

Just after booting, the bootkette system tries to mount floppy and searches
|
|
|
|
for <filename>config.tgz</filename>. If it is found its contents is extracted.
