  • Boot install and be happy!
  • Check file access rights cautiously!
  • Inactive components are renamed, that the PXE program cannot address them. The content remains unchanged. You can simply copy or rename them to get them active.
  • Attention! The URL http://savannah.fzk.de is not valid any more, use /srv/www/repositories/kit/lsdf as base instead and place the directory there.
