The final variables tell the kernel that it is being booted with nfs required, to enable ssh (if you want it) and to get the IP using DHCP. The Kernel knows what its looking for when it boots. Note, neither of the latter two define the files, just the folder paths.
So this loads the kernel using http from the server, and passes the boot partition nfs and persistent nfs location. Next, create a folder for storing your persistent information (I created a folder called persistent within my target folder. Note, I've not been able to make this boot using HTTP, and I'm not sure its possible, because it seems to use NFS as a persistent storage location for your configuration. Make sure the target folder is in a location where it is accessible from both HTTP and NFS. Within the created folder, there is a 'target' folder, which contains the images you need to boot from. This then spat out what I presume to be an OpenElec live-cd or some such (but who cares - we don't do CD's do we? :) ).
This was copied to my NAS server, and untarred using the command.
#BUILD A SMALL LINUX MEDIA CENTER PC DOWNLOAD#
It was a bit of a pain to get it working, but now that it is, it works fine.įirst of all, download a copy of OpenElec from - I got a the tarballed version entitled OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-devel-20131026131436-r16293 from the developer sources, but I think stable versions will equally well. I've set it up today to boot from the network to see how well it works on a machine I'm thinking about using for a media centre. This is a great live image for getting up and running with XBMC, or testing it before committing to installing to a harddisk.
#BUILD A SMALL LINUX MEDIA CENTER PC INSTALL#
OpenELEC is designed to make your system boot fast, and the install is so easy that anyone can turn a blank PC into a media machine in less than 15 minutes.
Open Embedded Linux Entertainment Center ( OpenELEC) is a small Linux distribution built from scratch as a platform to turn your computer into an XBMC media center.
