It works :) almost :(

Ok, I got past the bootpd problem, (thanX claas) but I use DHCP instead.
everything woks fine, the IP is assigned, the kernel image loaded, the
kernel boot up.
Thats the point where my problem starts.
I've installed a minimum Linux using SuSE's YaST (Install into directory
...)
 into the clients root ddirectory (actually /exports/crackrack/2 on the
server)
I changed fstab to mount 192.168.0.201:/exports/crackrack/2
and copied over the /etc/hosts file from the server.

One of the fist errors the kernel of the booting client shelled out to me
was a "permission denied"
As an absolute Linux newbie I went the easy way and chmod a+rwx
/exports/crackrack/2
(Is there a way to give everyone the file access permissions of root without
setting everything to rwx ?)

The next boot went a little furthe, runlevel 2 was reached and the system
went dead saying something like:

INIT  1: respawning to fast  suspending for 5 minutes
INIT  2: respaw...
..
..
..

no more processes available in this runlevel

----

What's wrong?

is there a better way to generate a basic filesystem for the client?
I don't need much on them, all the have to do is runing RC5DES from a
startup script.

BTW:
In whitch script do I have to put the programm call making  it start when
the system has reached runlevel 2 ?

That's all for today.

bye
