Hello,
I have figured out how to create the necessary netboot images, _with the
modified packages_, to test the answerfile feature I mentioned previously.
I have documented the process on the Wiki at
https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Testing_modified_install_images_and_packages,
and will shortly be adding a page on netbooting with iPXE.
Any corrections or comments on the information on that page would be
most welcome, as this is my first contribution to the Alpine wiki.
Also, before I start hunting myself, do folks know of good ways to
convert from Markdown to Wiki formatting? I originally wrote this page
in Markdown and conversion was a bit of pain. (It does have the correct
license for the wiki, and I am the sole author of the page, will be on
my web site soon -- but avoids anything that would cause the search
engines to consider it canonical, including omitting it from 'sitemap.xml').
Regards,
Daniel
