Porteus

Hi Fanthom, I guess I've done everything as you explained, but homedirs are still created in /srv/pxe/storage instead of /srv/pxe/home . :shock: My server has IP-address 192.168.178.5. This is what I have done on my server (which also is used for storage): /etc/exports: /media/Verbatim 192.168.178.0...

Hi fanthom, I created folder /srv/pxe/home (chmod 777). added to /etc/exports: /srv/pxe/home 192.168.178.1/24(rw,fsid=1,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) added to /srv/pxe/porteus/rootcopy/etc/rc.d/rc.local /sbin/mount -t nfs 192.168.178.1:/srv/pxe/home /home -o rw,nolock Whenever I create a new user...

After creating the folder /srv/pxe/storage and modifying the /etc/exports I was able to save the
changes.

This is so cool!!

Thanks again!

Hi Fanthom! Thanks for your supply. I tried both of your mount suggestions, but in APPEND= /srv/pxe/storage or /srv/storage/pxe-client both result in "Couldn't find /srv/pxe/storage" and "Couldn't find /srv/storage/pxe-clients". "Correct your cheatcodes if needed" Thanks for your help sofar! Marc

Hi guys, I was able to install Porteus on my already existing PXE server. It is completely up-and-running using PXE/httpd/nfsd. There is only 1 problem: I'm not able to write the changes to a folder on my existing PXE server. If I want to write the changes on my existing PXE server in the folder: /s...
