    v33 v34  
    2323thought this could be easily added, but during this process we decided to upgrade all software to the newest levels. The biggest hurdle was detecting of which hardware is in the system ([http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev.html udev]). We believe that SALI is better in detecting which hardware is in the system then the SystemImager setup. The focus for this project is/was:
    2424 * Easily create a new kernel/initrd when a new kernel is released or one of the software components is updated, eg: [http://www.busybox.net busybox]. The SALI initrd contains all kernel modules and software utilities. In SystemImager this software is distributed as a separate package (BOEL binaries).
    25  * PXE installations with rsync and/or Bittorent. Drop support for flamthrower/multicast and floppy disk support.
     25 * PXE installations with rsync and/or Bittorent. Drop support for flamethrower/multicast and floppy disk support.
    2626 * Support for the old generated SystemImager scripts. These scripts uses ''/etc/init.d/functions'' which is included in the initrd. We have added/changed a lot of functions to hide the complexity. We have reduced the code of the SystemImager scripts significantly, See [wiki:SaliUsage/Functions Functions Documentations]
