You can check out a copy of the source tree using | + | Prebuilt gPXE images are available from [[http://rom-o-matic.net/]]. Images can be generated from official gPXE releases or from the current development tree. This is probably the easiest way to get started with gPXE. |

| + | ==== Source code (git) ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can browse the current development tree at [[http://git.etherboot.org/?p=gpxe.git]], or check out a copy using: | ||
| git clone git://git.etherboot.org/scm/gpxe.git | git clone git://git.etherboot.org/scm/gpxe.git | ||

| - | A complete build of gPXE 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: | + | git pull |
| - | # yum install syslinux mtools | + | ==== Source code (tarballs) ==== |

| - | This will generate bootable images for floppy disk, CD-ROM, and USB key, which is the best way to get started experimenting with gPXE. | + | 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 these packages using: |

| + | === Etherboot 5.4 and older releases === | ||
| - | 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 Etherboot 5.4 (our legacy bootloader, in maintenance-only mode) is available at [[http://git.etherboot.org/?p=etherboot.git]]. |
| - | === Source code for old versions === | + | The source code for older Etherboot releases is available from [[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4233&package_id=4250]] |
| - | Should you want it, the source code for the old Etherboot-5.4 release is available from [[http://git.etherboot.org/?p=etherboot.git]]. | ||
| - | ==== Download pre-built binaries ==== | ||
| - | You can get pre-built ROM images from [[http://rom-o-matic.net/]]. At the moment, only Etherboot 5.4 ROMs are available; gPXE ROMs will be available shortly. | ||
