   Hello ,
   i tried nearly everything and the keyboard is just short before hitting the wall @ 200mph ...

   I managed to create a custom ISO ( 5.0 core64, firefox, curl , sshfs , lftp ,bash).
   tazlito is extremely undocumented in certain parts (gen-initiso after gen-distro e.g.)

   now the strange thingy:
   booting from cd rom renders everything normal , there is even a task bar and firefox is in $PATH ..

   booting from pxe (same rootfs.gz) with or without overlay file works, but there is no task bar , THE FOLDER /opt/ IS MISSING COMPLETELY and as a result firefox is not working . '

   (and no ,it has to be pxe ( mass rollout) , don't answer "use hard disk"/"use cdrom" .. )

   Any ideas ?

   regards

   1- russian dolls live CD ?
   2- customized live CD (/usr/share/boot/README.custom) ?
   3- pxe/tftp maximum file size (maybe 64M) ?

   In this case, try to build a small rootfs (with firefox...) for pxe and a local.sh that download the
   extra rootfs (wget -O - ftp://somewhere/rootfs | cpio -idmu),

   or send ipxe as kernel with a script.ipxe as rootfs. See http://mirror1.slitaz.org/pxe/ipxe/
