Hi,
I'll voice my desire to have etherboot with filo. I love the fact that I can first try to boot remotely And then if not use filo. For this reason alone I am A fan of the mechanism. Try remote first then if fail Use local storage. If we can, can we please put the Etherboot flavor in utils that has both network & filo support?
First of all, we didn't say we don't want choice. Actually we want more, including the choice of not having some choices. The problems of FILO/Etherboot are: 1. Some people have hard time building Etherboot. 2. Some people don't want the feature provided by Etherboot, they are satisfied by FILO itself. 3. FILO (as FILO itself) does not have an official host. If we want to continue maintain FILO to serve people in 1. and 2., we have to put it somewhere.
If you want FILO as FILO+Etherboot, why don't you get it from etherboot project?
