Sorry if this is the wrong place for a feature request. This is my first time using Phabricator, and I did not see a feature request section separate from issues. I use netboot.xyz to install most of the operating systems that I use. Sadly, it lacks Solus. I brought the issue up with the netboot.xyz dev and he says he needs a publicly hosted network bootable image in order to add it. Not sure this is something you guys have the resources for, but if you do, it would make installing Solus easier and faster for a lot of people. Here's the issue I opened with netboot.xyz: https://github.com/antonym/netboot.xyz/issues/215#event-1410740104 Thanks! Started with Solus yesterday and am really liking it so far.

#dotdigital-digital Do not triage issues, leave that to the Triage Team, thank you.

#JoshStrobl Sorry about that. "Triage" sounds urgent and this definitely isn't. All issues go through triage?

I guess we can look into this at some point. Just as long as no one expects us to be able to netboot an existing install.

You saw nothing.

@EbonJaeger Does calamares support this? If it doesn't, please close as Not Planned.

Otherwise, it can stay as a wishlist item I'd say.

I'm not even sure what "this" is, let alone where to look for it or even what to ask in the Calamares Matrix room.

It's essentially a way to stand up a live ISO environment that's delivered over the network IIUC.
