Hi Julien, There are a number of ways to do it. My preferred way is to build an image of a live filesystem with my custom kernel, use dd to write it to a disk partition on the target machine and then boot from it. I would not bother with NFS mounting filesystems, etc. Regards, John On 8/14/14, 3:24 AM, "Julien Cigar" <jcigar@ulb.ac.be> wrote: >Hello, > >I have a Soekris box for which I would like to upgrade through the >"classical" way (buildworld, kernel, etc).
