Special Information
Finnix is a Debian-based Live CD operating system, developed by Ryan Finnie and intended for system administrators for tasks such as filesystem recovery, network monitoring and OS installation.
Finnix is a relatively small distribution, with an ISO download size of approximately 100 MiB, and is available for the x86, x86-64 and PowerPC architectures, and paravirtualized (User Mode Linux and Xen) systems.
Finnix can be run off a bootable CD, a USB flash drive, a hard drive, or network boot (PXE).

Mount ISO file to temporary location (/mnt/cdrom/)
mkdir /mnt/cdrom/ mount -o loop /mnt/finnix-XXX.iso /mnt/cdrom/
Copy linux , linux64 to appropriate directory: (LOWER CASE ONLY!)
cp /mnt/cdrom/linux /tftpboot/er/plugins/finnix/ cp /mnt/cdrom/linux64 /tftpboot/er/plugins/finnix/
We will have to repack the initrd.gz file to contain the finix folder:
Create a temporary folder:
mkdir /tftpboot/temp cd /tftpboot/temp/
Copy initrd.gz from mounted CD to temporary folder:
cp /mnt/cdrom/initrd.xz /tftpboot/temp/
Extract and remove intird.xz file:
unxz /tftpboot/temp/initrd.xz cat /tftpboot/temp/initrd | cpio -i -H newc -d rm initrd
Copy finix folder from mounted CD to temporary folder (LOWER CASE ONLY!!!):
mkdir -p /tftpboot/temp/cdroot/finnix/ cp -R /mnt/cdrom/finnix/* /tftpboot/temp/cdroot/finnix/
Repack the new initrd.gz file:
find | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -4 > /tftpboot/er/plugins/finnix/initrd.gz
Remove temporary folder:
rm -R /tftpboot/temp/
Verify files with filelist.txt in each folder.
All Done!
