[gentoo-user] pxe + initramfs

[James]

All,

I have been experimenting heavily with netboot (PXE booting).

When I go to boot the Ubuntu LiveCD via the network I have to set up
an NFS share and export it with the content of the LiveCD so that the
kernel can boot from it.

However, when booting the Gentoo LiveCD from the network, everything
seems to be downloaded as one large initramfs image that is then
extracted and used to boot. i.e., no NFS required.

How would I go about taking a LiveCD and packing it into a LiveCD so
that I don't have to set up NFS exports for all the other Linux
distributions?

Thoughts appreciated.
