Updated Pyramid LiveCD Installer
I mentioned in this email a little while back that I released a new Pyramid LiveCD Installer with the 1.0b5 version of Pyarmid. This CD provides a simple method for boot strapping a Soekris net45XX/net48XX single board computer.
Some models accept normal compact flash cards for the operating system media in which case you could easily install an OS image using another machine and compact flash card reader. However some of the models have soldered on flash and on these systems the PXE boot strap method is the only way to install on the board.
Setting up a “PXE boot” environment can be a little cumbersome if you have never done it before. With the LiveCD everything down to the IP address is configured out of the box so you should be ready to flash images onto boards in 5 minutes or so just by following the simple instructions.
