-Dynamically compiled ​gPXE or Etherboot ​images are available from:+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.

-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:
- +
-  $ 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:+  sudo yum install syslinux mtools
  
-  $ cd etherboot/​src +You can then do a complete build of gPXE using:

-=== Updating source code ===+  cd gpxe/src 
 +  make
  
-To update your downloaded source tree at any time, use+**Centos 5 Notes**
  
-  $ git pull+You may need to set the value in the line 59 of src/​arch/​i386/​Makefile correctly (/​usr/​share/​syslinux/​isolinux.bin),​ apparently the reference to /​usr/​lib/​syslinux/​isolinux.bin is incorrect, this has not been tested in other distros. ISOLINUX_BIN config has been missing for a while.
  
-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.+----
