As we are currently preparing a new release, I'd simply point to the latest bbs/Crystal ISO images (available at http://iso.rocklinux.de/rock-ftp/official/test-releases/ ) or - if you prefer sources - to latest rock-linux trunk (see http://www.rocklinux.org/wiki/Download ). With these, installing Linux kernels and anything else is strictly optional (if you know how to boot your newly installed system without them ;)) I don't know much about PXE yet, if someone wants to use PXE with ROCK, he/she will probably have to figure it out by him/herself. Btw. the ROCK Linux package manager (bize and mine) are optional just like all other packages. Just a warning beforehand: finding _run-time_ dependencies for a given package is usually easy: just install all _build-time_ dependencies (as given in package .cache files). Finding _minimal_ run-time dependencies is a bit more difficult, and usually requires some trial-and-error... Comments, suggestions, bug reports, improvements are - as always - welcome. Oliver, you're also welcome to forward this mail to the appropriate newsgroup :) With best regards, Stefan Fiedler > > Ich wende mich an Euch, weil ich hoffe, daß irgendwer schon einmal vor > > demselben Problem gestanden hat. > > > > Gesucht wird: > > > > Ein Linux-Image _ohne_ Kernel und mit _möglichst wenigen_ Abhängigkeiten > > bzgl. der Basispakete.
