Re: Simplist way to boot only to a shell

There are other ways of obtaining this but I would do:

# pxesconfig -d my.conf

# vi my.conf
# set this
CUSTOM='/bin/sh'
SESSION_CUSTOM='1'
SESSION_DEFAULT='custom'
WINDOW_MANAGER=''
# check also that X_SESSION_* is set to 0
# disable other thins you don't want to be included

# pxesconfig -c my.conf -i my.initrd --squashed=my.squash --initialize
--dontreadconfiguration --druid=0


Voila !
