A PCRE internal error occured. This might be caused by a faulty plugin

====== Download ====== ==== Web-based image generator (http://rom-o-matic.net/)==== If compiling your own network boot images presents an obstacle to using gPXE or Etherboot, you can download dynamically generated images from: * http://rom-o-matic.net/ Images can be generated from release versions or from top-of-tree development versions of gPXE or Etherboot. ==== Downloading source code ==== Source code is now maintained in our git repository. === gPXE Source Code === Source code for gPXE (our current and supported network bootloader) is available at: * [[http://git.etherboot.org/?p=gpxe.git]]. You can check out a copy of the source tree using the following command: git clone git://git.etherboot.org/scm/gpxe.git === Etherboot (legacy) source code === Source code for Etherboot (our legacy bootloader, in maintenance-only mode) is available at: * [[http://git.etherboot.org/?p=etherboot.git]]. You can check out a copy of the source tree using the following command: git clone git://git.etherboot.org/scm/etherboot.git === Tarballs === If you don't have git installed, you can download a tarball of the current development snapshot from: * [[http://git.etherboot.org/?p=gpxe.git;a=snapshot]] Or release tarballs: * gPXE: [[http://kernel.org/pub/software/utils/boot/gpxe/]] (preferred, supported, PXE compatible) * Etherboot: [[http://kernel.org/pub/software/utils/boot/etherboot/]] (legacy, maintenance-mode support) ==== Building from Source ==== A complete build of gPXE or Etherboot requires the ''syslinux'' and ''mtools'' packages in your development environment. ''syslinux'' is required in order to create ISO images. On RedHat/Fedora systems you can install the packages by saying: $ sudo yum install syslinux mtools Once you have the code, you can do a complete build of gPXE using using: $ cd gpxe/src $ make or for Etherboot This will generate bootable images for floppy disk, CD-ROM, and USB key, which is the best way to get started experimenting with gPXE. === Updating source code === To update your downloaded source tree at any time, use $ git pull This will fetch the latest changes and apply them to your tree. This command will work only if you obtained your source tree using ''git clone''; if you downloaded a tarball then the only way to update your tree is to download a new tarball. === Source code for old versions === Should you want it, the source code for the old Etherboot-5.4 release is available from [[http://git.etherboot.org/?p=etherboot.git]].
