Hi guys,

Does anybody know if there's a possibility to setup xbmcbuntu to work overpxe?
Is it already possible (and if so, howww??)

Setting up the former xbmc-diskless is not very easy (out of the box) and openelec doesn't support it yet (to my knowledge).

Thanks,
D.

not sure how much of it still applies, but there's a start.

Hi Ned,

That's the version I'm currently using, but it's not based on xbmcbuntu, only the former live version.
It still uses a minimal Ubuntu setup.

Thanks,
D.

And to make something PXE bootable all you really need to do is share the root over NFS & change initramfs and rebuild it.

Easiest way would be to have a second hard drive or partition and just install XBMCBuntu onto that then share that over nfs and chroot to update the initrd.

@darkshout I got PXE and DHCP running. However..

I'm not that experienced yet.. I do have my nfs mounts set up in /etc/exports:

/export/xbmc/casper 192.168.1.4/24(no_root_squash,rw,async,no_subtree_check)
/mnt/storage 192.168.1.4/24(no_root_squash,rw,async,no_subtree_check)

And i've uncompressed the initrd.lz file.

At this point I'm a bit lost to what I should do exactly...
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
D.

Why did you do that?

You need to change a setting in the initramfs and rebuild it.
