Is this similar to http://httpredir.debian.org/ http://httpredir.debian.org/ ?
I just created my first live debian chroot earlier today, and was amazed at how it seemingly worked.
debootstrap downloaded everything required for a basic debian install in a few minutes from http://httpredir.debian.org/ http://httpredir.debian.org/ and I was in and using the fresh system.
Is that what netboot.xyz is? The same thing but for multiple linux distros?
- detaro 9y agoThis provides images you can boot over the internet - you install iPXE on a boot disk of some kind or offer it over your local network through PXE, and then you can choose between images that are booted into directly from their site.
- secure 9y agoFYI, http://deb.debian.org/ http://deb.debian.org/ is preferred over the httpredir these days. deb.debian.org is backed by multiple CDNs, whereas httpredir is backed by the traditional mirror network. The latter does its best to avoid redirecting to an unavailable/outdated mirror, but the former typically works better.
- flyGuyOnTheSly 9y agoThanks for that, looks like I should try to update the official debian chroot wiki page then! [0] [0] https://wiki.debian.org/chroot#Basic_Installation https://wiki.debian.org/chroot#Basic_Installation
