Has anyone done/seen/know how to PXE boot a SuSE Live CD/DVD (i.e. a Knoppix/DLS type boot)?
Thanks
Bob
You only need to arrange for the kernel and initrd to be served up by the PXE boot environment. However the live CD will want to mount the CD. The DVD however will be satisfied for the rest of the installer files to be served up by NFS, CIFS, HTTP, FTP, etc. That’s basically how the net install CD works.
I have my linux installed via PXE with out the need of disks. Are you talking about loading a Live image to a computer without using a CD/DVD via pxe?
Do you have a working PXE environment yet?
Some references I am using include the KIWI document found on this site as well as the PXE Install doc located here as well.

I have the same question.
I think Robert wants to PXE boot to Live. (not to install)
I use the following “append” parameters to live boot Ubuntu, all I need to know is what parameters should I use to live boot OpenSuse.
LABEL Ubuntu Jaunty Live Desktop
kernel live/jaunty/casper/vmlinuz
append boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.220.17:/srv/tftp/live/jaunty initrd=live/jaunty/casper/initrd.gz –
Million thanks in advance 
I gave up on trying to boot the openSuSE live disks, and stated spending my time learning to use KIWI to build PXE bootable images. It appears that most the LIVE disks are built from KIWI anyways. I am also looking at kiwi-ltsp, the only down fall is its 1-click install is for opensuse and not SLES and they havent built packages for SLES (SuSE Linux Enterprise Server) as of yet.
That’s what I also try to configure. There’s no problem to boot the SuSE 12.1 installation image from PXE - but the PXE boot for the live CD fails. The detailed contents of the append line would be very helpfull
Wow, talk about resurrection of a old thread. Kinda funny though, as I am starting to purchase hardware to work on this very topic. My family of 7 can probably be supported on 4 atom proc machines with 4gigs of RAM built as thin clients (w/no HD) which will have a read only FS in a 2gig RAM Disk. I may have to repost to this in a month or 2 when I have all the needed infrastructure to support it.
Happy New Years for 2012
