These files are used by any OpenSLX-client during boot to find out which systems to offer for booting. If you invoke the script with one or more system names, only these systems will be demuxed. All other systems (which are expected to have been demuxed before) will just be linked into the PXE menu. The resulting files will be put into the OpenSLX-tftpboot-path. =head2 FILE CREATION The following set of files will be created: =over 8 =item B The basic PXE files (F, F) will be copied into F<$SLX_PUBLIC_PATH/tftpboot> to make them available to any PXE-client via tftp. =item B For each client, a PXE configuration file will be generated and written to F<$SLX_PUBLIC_PATH/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/01->. This file will contain information about the systems this client shall offer for booting. For each of these systems, the kernel cmdline options required for that particular system setup is specified (via PXE's APPEND option). Any client that is not known to OpenSLX (so it will not have a specific configuration file) will use the configuration from the default client (appropriately named 'default'). =item B For each bootable system, that system's kernel will be copied to F<$SLX_PUBLIC_PATH/tftpboot//kernel and an OpenSLX-specific initramfs required for booting that particular system is generated (by means of slxmkramfs) and put into F<$SLX_PUBLIC_PATH/tftpboot//initramfs. These two files (kernel & initramfs) will be referenced by the PXE client configuration of all clients that offer this specific system for booting. =item B For each system, an OpenSLX configuration archive will be generated and written to F<$SLX_PUBLIC_PATH/tftpboot/client-config//default. Furthermore, every client of that system whose attributes differ from the system's default will get its own configuration archive generated here, too (e.g. F<$SLX_PUBLIC_PATH/tftpboot/client-config//01-.tgz>). Each of these archives will contain the file F, specifying all the attributes of that particular system and/or client (e.g. whether or not it should start the X-server). Furthermore, each system-specific archive may contain additional system files that are required for that system (e.g. a special PAM-module required for LDAP authentication). These files are copied from F<$SLX_PRIVATE_PATH/config/default> and F<$SLX_PROVATE_PATH/config/>. On top of that, each client may have its own set of system files, too (e.g. some config files required to install a special kind of hardware available only on that client). These files are copied from F<< $SLX_PROVATE_PATH/config//01- >>. =back =head2 MIXING & MATCHING (THE DEMUXER) In the OpenSLX configuration database, each system, group and client may have several configurational attributes set to a specific value that will cause a client booting that system to behave in a certain way. The mixing of all these different attributes into one set that is relevant for a specific client booting one specific system is one important task of the slxconfig-demuxer. As an example, let's assume one system setup that is configured to boot directly into a special application that demands a rather low screen-resolution of 1024x768 pixels, as otherwise the text would be unreadable due to very small fonts being used by that app. In order to achieve this, the administrator can set the I-attribute of the B to '1024x768'. Let's say one of the clients, however, is connected to a very old monitor that has problems with this resolution and only supports 800x600 pixels. In that case, the administrator can set the I-attribute of that B to '800x600'. The mixing & matching process would make sure that this specific client would run that system with a resolution of 800x600, while all other clients would run that system in 1024x768. So the slxconfig-demuxer demultiplexes the individual configurational attributes into a concrete set of configuration settings for specific clients and their offered systems, making sure that each client/system combination uses the appropriate settings. =head1 OPTIONS =head3 Script Options =over 8 =item B<< --dry-run >> Runs the script but avoids writing anything.
